Johnny Cash - Like A Soldier (with Willie Nelson) chords
Start Jamming...
[D] [A]
With the twilight colors falling and the evening laying shadows,
Hidden memories come stealing [E] from my mind.
As I feel my own heart beating out the simple joy of living,
I wonder how I ever [A] was that kind.
But the wild road I was rambling was always out there calling,
You said a hundred times [E] I should have died.
Then you came down and touched me and lifted me up with you,
So I believe it was a road I was [A] meant to ride.
I'm [D] like a soldier [E] getting over [A] the war,
[D] Like a young [E] man getting over [A] his crazy days,
[D] Like a bandit [E] getting over [A] his [F#m] lawless ways.
[D] I don't [E] have to do [A] that anymore.
I'm [D] like a soldier [E] getting over [A] the war.
Nights and days that aren't remembered and pain that's been forgotten,
And other things I choose not [E] to recall.
There are faces that come to me that I thought were long forgotten,
Faces that I wish would not come [A] back at all.
But in my dreams parade of lovers from the other times and places,
There's not one that matters [C#m] now no [E] matter who.
I'm just thankful for the journey and that I survived the battles,
And that my reward for victory [A] is you.
I'm [D] like a soldier [E] getting over [A] the war,
[D] Like a young [E] man getting over his [A] crazy days,
[D] Like a bandit [E] getting over [A]
his [F#m] lawless ways.
[D] I don't [E] have to do [A] that anymore.
I'm [D] like a soldier [E] getting over [A] the war.
[D] [E] [A]
