Johnny Cash - I Got Stripes chords
Jam Along & Learn...
I was walking down the street today and a barber came out of a barber shop.
The barber shop says, hey I'll give you an estimate.
So, I didn't have time to stop.
We hope you enjoyed that impersonation of Roy Acuff.
[Bb]
[Gb] Alright, [B] we had a request to do this one for you again, our brand new one on Columbia.
I got stripes.
[Db]
On a Monday, I was [Ab] arrested.
Oh, [Eb] poor accuser.
[Db] Oh, poor boy.
On a [Ab]
Thursday, they said guilty and the judge's gavel [Db] fell.
I got [Db] stripes [Ab] around my shoulders.
I got chains [Dbm] around my feet.
I got my [Db] [Ab] shoulders.
And them chains, them chains, they're about to [Db] drag me down.
[Bb] On a Monday, I got my stripe at Bridges.
Uh-huh.
On a Tuesday, got my ball in chains.
Oh, boy.
On a Wednesday, [Eb] I'm working [Ab] digging ditches.
On a Thursday, Lord, I begged them not to knock me down again.
[Db] I got stripes, stripes around my [Ab] shoulders.
I got chains, chains around [Db] my feet.
I got stripes, stripes around [Ab] my shoulders.
And them chains, [Eb] them chains, they're about to drag me down.
[Bb] On
[Eb] a Monday, my mama comes.
[Bb] On a Tuesday, they caught me [Eb] with a file.
On a Wednesday, I'm [Bb] down in solitary.
[Bbm] Oh, Lord, I start on bread and water [Eb] for a while.
I got stripes around [Bb] my shoulders.
[Eb] I got chains around my feet.
I got stripes [Ab] around [F] my [Bb] shoulders.
And them chains, them chains, they're about to [Eb] drag me down.
