Johnny Cash - The Chicken In Black
A D E A E
A
For two long years my head hurt bad
D
So the doctor checked me and he shook his head
E A E
He said I�m sorry to tell you put your body�s out lived your brain
A
He said I know this doctor in New York son
D
And he�ll fix you right up with a brand new one
E A E
So the head doctor met me when I stepped down off the train.
A
He said we had this bank robber killed last night
D
His body�s shot but his brain�s alright
E A E
I�ll give you a transplant boy and you�ll be okay.
A
I got my new brain in and I was feelin� great
D
I went right back to Nashville with no head ache
E A
But somethin� strange happened when I walked in the bank one day.
Chorus:
D
I said stick �em up everybody I�m robbin� this place
A
Drop all of your money in my guitar case
D E
Don�t nobody move and don�t nobody reach for that door
A
A lady said why you�re Johnny Cash
D
I said no ma�am, I�m The Manhatton Flash
E A
And I am the best bank robber, in New York.
A
Now the other night Roy Acuff called me
D
He said John I�d like you to do the Orpy
E A E
So I went out on the stage, but I couldn�t sing
A
I got into half a verse of I Walk The Line
D
And somethin� snapped in this head of mine
E A
I yelled stick �em up, give me your money your watches and your rings.
Bb
Well I called New York and talked to that brain quack
Db
I said doc I got to have my old brain back
F Bb F
He said I�m sorry there Mr. Cash but I can�t do that.
Bb
He said I put your brain in a chicken last Monday
Db
He�s singin� your songs and makin� lots of money
F Bb F
And I got him signed to a ten year recordin� contract.
Bb
Now friends if you see me walkin� down the street
Db
Remember what you see ain�t necessarly me
F Bb
And if I try to hold you up, don�t pay me no mind.
Bb
But when you got ten bucks that you can blow
Db
You oughta catch that Johnny Chicken Show
F Bb
He�s doin� fairs and concert dates all up and down the line.
Chorus2:
Db
I said stick �em up everybody I�m robbin� this place
Bb
Drop all of your money in my guitar case
Db F
Don�t nobody move and don�t nobody reach for that door
Bb
A lady said why you�re Johnny Cash
Db
I said no ma�am, I�m The Manhattan Flash
F Bb F
And I am the best bank robber, in New York.
Well it don�t pay any income tax
You don�t pay tax on money you steal
You oughta catch that Johnny Chicken Show
