Johnny Cash - The Chicken in Black chords with lyrics

A _ _ _ _ _ _ D _ _ .
_ _ E _ _ _ _ A _ _ .
E _ A For two long years, my head hurt bad, D so the doctor checked me and he shook his head.
E He said, I'm sorry to tell you, but your body's A outlived your brain.
_ .
E He A said, I know this doctor in New York, son, D and he'll fix you right up with a brand new one.
E So the head doctor met me when I stepped down off A of the train.
_ .
E _ A He said, we had this bank robber killed last D night, his body shot, but his brain's all E right.
I'll give you a transplant, boy, and you'll A be OK.
_ .
E I A got my new brain in and I was feeling D great.
I went right back to Nashville with no headache.
E But something strange happened when I walked in the A bank one day.
I D said, stick them up, everybody.
I'm robbing this A place.
Drop all of your money in my guitar D case.
Don't nobody move and don't nobody E reach for that door.
_ Bm A A lady said, why, you're Johnny D Cash.
I said, no, ma'am, I'm the Manhattan E Flash and I am the best bank robber A in New York.
_ E A Now, the other night, Roy Acuff D called me.
He said, John, I'd like for you to do the operate.
So E I went out on the stage, A but I couldn't sing.
_ E A I got into half a verse if I walked the D line and something snapped in this head of mine.
I yell, E stick them up.
Give me your money, your A watches and rings.
_ _ Bb _ _ _ Well, I call New York and talk to that brain Eb quack.
I said, Doc, I've got to have my old brain F back.
He said, I'm sorry there, Mr.
Bb Cash, but I can't do that.
_ F Dm He Bb said, I put your brain in a chicken last Eb Monday.
He's singing your songs and making lots of money.
F And I got him signed to a 10 year recording Bb contract.
F _ Bb Now, friends, if you see me walking down the street, Eb remember what you see ain't necessarily me.
F And if I try to hold you up, don't Bb pay me no mind.
F _ But when Bb you got 10 bucks that you can blow, Eb you ought to catch that Johnny Chicken show.
F He's doing fairs and concert dates Bb all up and down the line.
I said, stick Eb them up, everybody.
I'm robbing this Bb place.
Drop all of your money in my guitar case.
Don't Eb nobody move and don't nobody reach for that F door.
_ A Bb A lady said, why, you're Johnny Cash.
Eb I said, no, ma'am, I'm the Manhattan F Flash and I am the best bank robber Bb in New York.
_ _ A _ F _ _ .
Well, I don't pay any income tax.
You don't pay tax on money you steal.
You ought to catch that Johnny Chicken show.
_ .
Chicken in black.
Chicken in black.
