Johnny Cash – The Junkies Prayer (Guitar)

G                                     G7
This bed that I lay on is narrow and cold

C                                       G
This sickness inside me, it tears at my soul

G
And the devil awaits me, he calls me his son

                                           D
For he knows I'm cornered and too weak to run

 G                                      G7
For I soon must return to my gutter of thrills

C                                       G
Where joy is the needle or a bottle of pills

                                                     D
Where a man welcomes misery like an old friend from home

                                  C         G
That he uses and abuses till the misery is gone

G                                           G7
My mind's filled with torture my body's in pain

C                                         G
But the needle is warm as it sinks in my vein

                              D                G
Just a matter of seconds then my mind will be free

                                             D
From the coldness and darkness that dominate me

G                                            G7
But the freedom is short lived and then I'm alone

C                                          G
I must find the pusher but my money's all gone

                                           D
Then the cycle of horror starts over once more

D                                           D
Oh God, don't let me suffer this misery no more
