Start Jamming...
Right now I'd like to introduce you to the one that really makes it all worthwhile for me, my wife June Carter.
[G] Thank you very much.
[Cm]
[E] You know a lot of people ask the question, they say to Johnny Cash, they say,
John, say how do you do it?
How do you sing about the prisons and the cotton [Cm] fields and the poor folks and all of that,
when that's not the way it is anymore?
Say, it's not really real anymore.
But John says he's got a good memory.
And Johnny Cash is sometimes a very troubled man,
and I know that first of all because I'm close to him.
And I've written a little song that kind of tells about some of his fears and some of the things that I think about Johnny Cash,
and I wrote this for him.
If it's alright, I'd like to sing it for you.
It's called A Good Man.
[C]
Your brown [G] eyes weigh heavy with the [Dm] burdens [C] of the world
Like what you're [F] gonna do [C] about the young boys and the girls
People [F] are blind [C] and they don't understand
[G] But I think you can help them, you're [C] a good man
Jesus, hear the [G] cry and the prayer and [C] the moan of a good man
Jesus, feel the [G] pain and the hurt and [C] the need of a good man
You're a good [F] man, reach out for the [C]
[G] stars
I'm praying for your wisdom [F] like I'm praying [C] for the war
Jesus, give your [Eb] consolation, [F] Jesus, give you [C] inspiration
Jesus, [G] save this nation, [C]
maybe
[Eb] [C] You're
[G] worried about pollution, about [F] the poison [C] in the streams
[F] [C]
[F] [C]
[G] [C] You're a good
[G] [C]
[G] [C]
[F] man, reach [C] out for the stars
I'm [G] praying for your wisdom [F] like I'm praying [C] for the war
Jesus, give your consolation, Jesus, give you inspiration
Jesus, give your [F] consolation, Jesus, give [C] you inspiration
Jesus, [G] save this [C] nation, maybe
There's [C]
[Eb] [C] a difference in the old and young, the broad and mighty gal
But I don't [F] think you feel it, [C] it's a land in your lap
Hold my [F] baby to my [C] breast and reach out for your hand
[G] We all need the strength [C] of a good man
Jesus, hear the [G] cry and the prayer and the [C] moan of a good man
Jesus, [G] feel the pain and the hurt and the [C] need of a good man
You're a good [F] man, reach out [C] for the stars
[G] I'm praying for your wisdom like [F] I'm praying [C] for the war
Jesus, give your [F] consolation, Jesus, give you [C] inspiration
Jesus, [G] save this [F] nation, [C] maybe
[Cm] [C]
[D] Thank you
