The Ghost of Johnny Cash by Shawn Mullins
Acoustic version from KINK.FM video
Key: A
Standard Tuning (I think the studio version is in F# and uses an alternate
tuning. I liked this version since Shawn transposed it into standard
tuning, which makes it easier to play live and it loses none of the
character of the studio version)
Am G
I woke up in a cold sweat, from a dream at 3am,
D/F# F
I was driftin' on a sea of shadows; the rain was whippin' in the wind
Am C G D/F#
I saw a man dressed all in black, reach out and take the helm,
F E Am
And he charted us a course, out into the spirit realm.
Am G
I can taste the salt; feel the blisters on my hand
D/F# F
As I'm pulling at the ores, rowing on to glory land,
Am C G D/F#
And sitting in the stern, singin' hymns and talkin' trash
Am G D/F# F E Am
Is my broken guardian angel, the ghost of Johnny Cash.
Am G
Well, Johnny's quoting from the bible, while I'm trying to steer this leaky craft,
D/F# F
And his familiar voice reminds me that I'm man who's cut in half,
Am C G D/F#
His tarnished halo slips and shines, as the raging billows crash,
Am G D/F# F E Am
And I'm riding out the deluge with the ghost of Johnny Cash
Chorus:
G
Some sinners need their saints to be survivors of the fall,
Am G D/F# E
Cuz' when you're down here on your knees, most angels look to tall,
Am G D/F# F
So I'll just live this life out dust to dust and ash to ash,
Am G D/F# F E Am
With my guide from the other side the ghost of Johnny Cash,
Interlude:
Am, G, D/F#, F, Am
Am G
You gotta' stand for something, cuz' when you're gone your gone
D/F# F
The devil lost a lot of souls when Johnny put that black suit on,
Am C G D/F#
He's still flipping off the Pharacies and laughing at old scratch
Am G D/F# F E Am
While he haunts the halls of heaven, the ghost of Johnny Cash
Chorus:
G
Some sinners need their saints to be survivors of the fall,
Am G D/F# E
Cuz' when you're down here on your knees, most angels look to tall,
Am G D/F# F
So I'll just live this life out dust to dust and ash to ash,
Am G D/F# F E Am
With my guide from the other side the ghost of Johnny Cash,
Am G D/F# F
Yeah, I'll just live this life out dust to dust and ash to ash
Am G D/F# F E Am
Until I'm raisin' hell in heaven with the ghost of Johnny Cash
