Johnny Cash - The man on the hill chords
Start Jamming...
Will we get cold and hungry?
Will times be very bad?
When we're needin' bread and meat, [Ebm] where we gonna [F] get it, Dad?
[Bb] We'll get it from the man [Eb] in the house on the hill.
Yes, [Bb] we will from [F] the man on the hill.
Plowin' time is over, still the fields are bare.
How we gonna make a living with [C] twenty acres to [F] share?
[Bb] I'll beg for more land from [Eb] the man on the [Ebm] hill.
Yes, [Bb] I will, I'll ask [F] the man [Bb] on the hill.
I ain't got no Sunday shoes that I can wear to town.
Papa reckon the boss has got [C] a pair of hand-me [F]-downs.
I'll [Bb] go and ask the man [Eb] in the house on the [Ebm] hill.
Yes, [Bb] I will, I'll ask [F] the man [Bb] on the hill.
Maybe he will help us, maybe we'll get by.
But who's gonna pay the dying bills [C]
if we all [F] should die?
[Bb]
We'll leave it to the man in [Eb] the sky when we [Ebm] die.
[Bb] Yes, we'll leave it to [F]
the man in [Bb] the sky.
