Chord/Tab song: The Chicken in Black

Johnny Cash - The Chicken In Black

[A] [D] [E] [A] [E]
For [A]two long years my head hurt bad
So the [D]doctor checked me and he shook his head
He said Im [E]sorry to tell you put your bodys out lived your [A]brain[E]
He said I [A]know this doctor in New York son
And hell [D]fix you right up with a brand new one
So the [E]head doctor met me when I stepped down off the [A]train.[E]

He said we [A]had this bank robber killed last night
His [D]bodys shot but his brains alright
Ill [E]give you a transplant boy and youll be [A]okay.[E]

I got my [A]new brain in and I was feelin great
I went [D]right back to Nashville with no head ache
But somethin [E]strange happened when I walked in the bank one [A]day.

Chorus:
I said stick em [D]up everybody Im robbin this place
Drop [A]all of your money in my guitar case
Dont [D]nobody move and dont nobody reach for that [E]door
A [A]lady said why youre Johnny Cash
I said [D]no maam, Im The Manhatton Flash
And I [E]am the best bank robber, in New [A]York.

Now the [A]other night Roy Acuff called me
He said [D]John Id like you to do the Orpy
So I [E]went out on the stage, but I couldnt [A]sing[E]
I got into [A]half a verse of I Walk The Line
And [D]somethin snapped in this head of mine
I yelled [E]stick em up, give me your money your watches and your [A]rings.

[Bb]Well I called New York and talked to that brain quack
I said [Db]doc I got to have my old brain back
He said Im [F]sorry there Mr. Cash but I cant do [Bb]that.[F]

He said I [Bb]put your brain in a chicken last Monday
Hes [Db]singin your songs and makin lots of money
And I [F]got him signed to a ten year recordin con[Bb]tract.[F]

Now [Bb]friends if you see me walkin down the street
Remember [Db]what you see aint necessarly me
And if [F]I try to hold you up, dont pay me no [Bb]mind.

But when you [Bb]got ten bucks that you can blow
You [Db]oughta catch that Johnny Chicken Show
Hes [F]doin fairs and concert dates all up and down the [Bb]line.

Chorus2:
I said stick em [Db]up everybody Im robbin this place
Drop [Bb]all of your money in my guitar case
Dont [Db]nobody move and dont nobody reach for that [F]door
A [Bb]lady said why youre Johnny Cash
I said [Db]no maam, Im The Manhattan Flash
And I [F]am the best bank robber, in New [Bb]York.[F]
Well it dont pay any income tax
You dont pay tax on money you steal
You oughta catch that Johnny Chicken Show
Chicken In Black.
