Johnny Cash – The Mystery Of Life (Guitar)

E         E             A           A
Peterbilt drivers don't pick up low riders

            B           B             E      E
They don't slow for the curves in the road

     E            E               A         A
They hate to keep logs, they hate riders on hogs

      B         B             E      E
Watch out for a shift in your load

E          E            A          A
When I was young, I had Gene Autry guns

      B           B      E      E
But I never had a Lionel train

    E          E           A             A
Now I've got a truck, if I keep payments up

       B             B           E      E
And it weighs thirty tons in the rain

       E      E          A       A
I wear Frisco jeans with riveted seams

   B        B             E      E
My money is chained to my belt

  E          E   A            A
I wear a Cat cap just like my pap

   B             B          E      E
He drove till it ruined his health

     E             E               A           A
Now, Georgia Bill Smith wore thick glasses and boots

         B            B               E      E
He could see about as far as he could walk

   E           E            A          A
He came up too fast on that bridge overpass

          B             B           E      E
Lord, the preacher sure gave a fine talk

E          E            A          A
When I was young, I had Gene Autry guns

      B           B      E      E
But I never had a Lionel train

    E          E           A             A
Now I've got a truck, if I keep payments up

       B             B           E      E
And it weighs thirty tons in the rain

     E          E              A      A
I've read a few lines from the poets

    B            B               E      E
And sometimes, I might cross the line

  E              E             A          A
I don't know the answer to the mystery of life

      B          B              E      E
But a woman sure helps pass the time

E          E            A          A
When I was young, I had Gene Autry guns

      B           B      E      E
But I never had a Lionel train

    E          E           A             A
Now I've got a truck, if I keep payments up

       B             B           E      E
And it weighs thirty tons in the rain

E          E            A          A
When I was young, I had Gene Autry guns

      B           B      E      E
But I never had a Lionel train

    E          E           A             A
Now I've got a truck, if I keep payments up

       B             B           E      E
And it weighs thirty tons in the rain
