Johnny Cash – She Sang Sweet Baby James (Guitar)

C         G             C
She had a heart full of love

        F                     C
For her baby, for life, and James Taylor

F                        C              Am
She nursed her baby, and she closed her eyes

          D7                         G
She was a cowgirl, truck driver, and sailor

       C         G       C
In her mind, she wasn't abandoned

           F                     C
Though the baby was all that she had

        F                        C         Am
She was lonely at night when the babe was asleep

         D           G         C
But when singin', it wasn't so bad

    F                    C
And she sang "Sweet Baby James"

        F                            C
And she flew o'er the turnpikes, the mountain, and sea

        F                          C
And she looked to the skies, where hеaven should be

                                         G
Said, "Could it be thеre's no heaven for me?

                                   C            Am
The only difference in my life and hell are the flames"

   F         G          C      F   C  Am  C  G  C
So she sang "Sweet Baby James"

           G          C
She had to work for a livin'

        F                       C
And her mom kept the babe every day

    F                    C        Am
The drivin' paid minimum wages to all

        D                    G
And was so little carry-home pay

    C              G              C
But she'd take her own flights of fancy

     F                       C
Each time she found herself alone

      F                          C           Am
She'd get on her dream song, and she'd sail away

         D       G             C
With her baby to find that new home

    F                    C
And she sang "Sweet Baby James"

        F                            C
And she flew o'er the turnpikes, the mountain, and sea

        F                          C
And she looked to the skies, where hеaven should be

                                         G
Said, "Could it be thеre's no heaven for me?

                                   C            Am
The only difference in my life and hell are the flames"

   F         G          C
So she sang "Sweet Baby James"

          G                         C            Am
"The only difference in my life and hell are the flames"

   F         G          C      F   C  Am  C  G  C
So she sang "Sweet Baby James"
