Invented the sound that hooked you and me

Added one to make the Tennessee Three

The Man In Black was long and lean

        D
Hit the Billboard charts with a Teenage Queen

Missing ol' Johnny Cash
>> 1/2 STEP UP
            A#
Well Johnny Cash was a friend of mine

D#
Knew him well for a mighty long time

A#
Shared the stage for many a show

F
Broke my heart to see him go

A#
Cash had the fire of a thousand men

D#
Lovin life was his greatest sin

A#
Treated his fans like the next of kin

Rappin a bit, talkin trash

                   D#
Missing ol' Johnny Cash

         A#
Well now Johnny Cash wore black attire

       D#
And he fell into that Ring of Fire

   A#
He came up swinging like a Boy Named Sue

       F
And he married June Carter and he (?)fires too(?)

   A#
He wrote his songs from deep within

       D#
And he hit the stage with a crooked grin

       A#
He and I were both Highwaymen

         F
And that record became a smash

                            A#
Well I'm missing ol' Johnny Cash
>> 1/2 STEP UP
B
Johnny Cash never walked no line

E
Johnny Cash never did no time, but

        B
When he sang a Folsom Prison Blues

    F#
You knew good and well he'd paid his dues

B
True, he always dressed in black

       E
But he loved folks and they loved him back

B
Carried his pills in a brown paper sack

     F#
Well I don't care if they found his stash

                       B
I'm missin' old Johnny Cash
SPOKEN, ALL IN A Now is it really true that him and Roy Nichols, Rose Maddox, some people roasted hot dogs in the back of a limousine with ice cream sticks? I don't know, I said they set the curtains on fire in a English hotel room just to warm their hands. Well. Willie, do you know anything about Cash? Well yeah, I know a lot of things about Cash. I'm not sure I should talk about it, but I checked with John, asked him if it's OK, he said he didn't give a shit. One time he took a casket up to his hotel room and got into it and called room service. I thought that was pretty funny
