Johnny Cash – The Wall (Ukulele)

[F]
Well there’s a lot of strange men, in cell block ten, 

    [C7]             [G]      
but the strangest of them all, 

[F]                                      [Am]         [F]
was a friend of mine, who spent his time, staring at the wall,

[Am]              [F]
just staring at the wall.

[F]
As he stared at that wall, so strong and tall, 

       [C7]           [G]
you could hear him softly curse,

[F]                                [Am]              [F]
Nobody at all ever climbed that wall, but I'm gonna be the first,

[Am]                [F]
yeah I'm gonna be the first.

[F]
Well the warden walked by and said son don't try,

  [C7]             [G]      
I'd hate to see you fall,

[F]                                                         [Am]              [F]
Cause there aint no doubt they're gonna carry you out, if you ever touch that wall, 

[Am]                 [F]
if you ever touch that wall.

[F]
Well a years gone by since he made his try, 

 [C7]           [G]      
but I can still recall, 

[F]                                   [Am]                  [F]
how hard he tried and the way he died, but he never made that wall,

[Am]                [F]
no he never made that wall.

[F]
There’s never been a man ever shook this can, 

  [C7]             [G]      
but I know a man who tried,

[F]                                 [Am]                    [F]
the newspapers called it a jail break plan, but I know it was suicide,

[Am]         [F]
I know it was suicide.
