The Ghost of Johnny Cash Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]I woke up in a cold sweat,
from a [D]dream [Bm]at 3am,
I was driftin' [A]on a sea of shadows
the rain was whippin' [Am]in the wind
[Em]I saw a man dressed all in black,
reach [Bm]out and take t[D]he helm,[Bm]
And he [A]charted us a course,
out [C]into [Am]the s[A]pi[C]rit realm.[G][Em]
I can taste the salt,
[D]feel the blisters on my [Bm]hand
[A]As I'm pulling at the ores,
[Am]rowing on the glory land,
[Em]He's sitting in the stern,
[G]singin' hym[D]ns and talkin' tra[A]sh
Is my [Em]broke [B]guardian an[G]gel,
[A]the Gho[Am]st of [D]Johnny Cas[Em]h.
Well, Johnny's quoting from the bible,
while [D]I'm trying to steer this leaky [Bm]craft,
[D]His fam[A]iliar voice reminds me that I'm
[Am]man [C]who's cut [Am]in half,
[Em]His tarnished halo [G]slips and shines,
and the [D]raging bellows [A]crash,
and I'm [Em]riding [B]out [D]the de[G]luge[A]
with the [Am]ghost [D]of Johnny [Em]Cash.
Some [D]sinners need their [Dsus4]saint s
to be [D]survivors of [Am]the fall,[C]
[Dsus4]'Cause when your[Em] down here on your k[D]nees,[Bm]
[D]most ang[A]els look to tal[Bm]l,[B][Bm]
[Em]So I'll just live this life out[D][Bm]
[D]dust [A]to dust and ash to [Am]ash,

[Verse 2]
[Em]With my [B]guide from the [G]other [A]side the [Am]ghost of [D]Johnny Cash,
[Em]

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 3]
You gotta stand [Em]for something,
[D]'cause when you're gone your gon[A]e
The devil lost a lot of souls when Johnny
[Am]put that black suit on,
He's [Em]still flipping of [G]the fair
[D]icies, laughing that old [A]scratch
While he [Em]haunts the [B]halls of [G]heaven[A]
[Am], the ghosts of [D]Johnny [Em]Cash
Some [D]sinners need their [Dsus4]saint s
to be sur[D]vivors of [Dsus4]the fall,
[D]'Cause whe[Em]n your down here on [D]your kne[Bm]es,
[D]most ang[A]els look to tal[B]l,
So [Em]I'll just live this [D]life out,
dust [A]to dust and ash to [Am]ash
[Em]With my [B]guide from the other [G]side[A]
the [C]ghost [D]of Johnny [Em]Cash,
Yeah, I'll just live this life [D]out
dust [A]to dust and ash to ash
[Am]Until [Em]I'm raisin' hell [B]in he[G]aven with [A]the ghost,
[Am]of ,[B]Johnny Cash
[Em][Em]
