Chords for Hurt - Johnny Cash (Ghost Covers)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I need to poke it so it moves.
_ _ _ This _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [G] _ is the historic King House.
It's the oldest building [Bb] on Montevallo's campus.
It was originally owned by a man named Dr.
King, who [Db] was the man of the family that donated
all the land for the University of Montevallo.
[Eb] The story has it, from what I hear, that Dr.
King was in the military during the Civil War.
He was an officer in the military, and while he was gone, his daughter lived here.
And story has it that while he was off, a man, another soldier in the military, came
here and broke into the house, asked to come in [N] and was told no by his daughter, but came
in anyway, and then raped her and proceeded [B] to kill her inside of the house.
Once Dr.
King [D] learned of this, obviously he came back to the house.
Story has it he lived out the rest of his days patrolling these grounds around this
house with an old lantern, waiting [Eb] for the young man to return.
Sometimes it's okay for females to enter the house, but it's never okay for men to enter
the house, because that is the spirit of Dr.
King, preventing any other young man from
doing wrongdoing inside of his house.
And some say that while walking around the grounds of King House at night, you can smell
the smell of a kerosene lamp in passing.
Interesting.
Again, once you post this, I'm sure if anyone goes here and sees it, they're like, that's
not the real [Am] story, but that's the story that I've heard.
[C] Interesting.
Alright, [D] let's move some other stuff.
[Am] I'll take this.
Anyone want to carry this first real quick?
Wait, where are we [C] going?
I [Dm] could_
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [C] I hurt [D] myself [Am] today _ to [C] see if [A] I still feel.
[Am] _ _ [C] I focus [D] on [Am] the pain.
_ [C] The only [D] thing [Am] that's real.
_ [C] The needle [D] tears [Am] a hole.
_ [C] The old [D] familiar [Am] stain.
_ [C] Tried to kill it [D] all [Am] away.
_ [C] But I [D] remember _ [G] everything.
_ _ [Am]
What have I [D] become?
_ _ _ [C] _
My sweetest [G] friend.
_ _ _ [Am]
Everyone I [C] know _ goes away in the end.
_ And [Am] you could have [D] it all.
_ [G] My empire of dirt.
_ _ [Am] I will let [D] you down.
[G] I will make you [Am] hurt.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [C] I wear [Dm] this crown of [Am] thorns upon [C] my [D]
liar's [Am] chair.
_ _ [C] Full of [D] broken _ thoughts _ [C] that I [D] cannot [Am] repair.
_ _ _ [C] Beneath [E] the stains of [Am] time, _ [C] the feelings [D] _
[Am] disappear.
_ _ You [A] are someone [Am] else.
_ _ [C] I am [G] still right here.
_ _ [Am] What have I [D] become?
_ _ [C] My sweetest [G] friend.
_ _ _ [Am] Everyone I [D] know _ goes [C] away _ [G] in the end.
_ [Am] And you could have [D] it all.
_ [G] My empire of dirt.
_ _ [Am] I will let you [D]
down.
_ [G] I will make you _ hurt.
If I could start [D] _ again.
[G] A million miles away. _ _
[Am] I would keep myself.
[C] _ _ _
[G] I would find a _ _ [Dm]
way.
