Chords for The Ballad of the Forty Dollars - Johnny Cash & Waylon Jennings

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The man that preached the funeral said it really was a simple way to [G] die
_ _ [A] He lay down to rest one afternoon and never opened up his [D] eyes _ _
They hired me and Fred and Joe to take the grave and carry up some [G] chairs
It [A] took us seven hours, I guess we must have drunk a case [D] of beer _
_ _ _ Well I guess I ought to go and watch him put him down but I don't [G] own a suit _
[A] And anyway when they start talking about the fire in hell I [D] get spooked
_ So let's just sit here in the truck and act like we don't know him when [G] they pass _
_ [A] Anyway when they're all through we gotta go to work and mow [D] the grass _ _ _ _ _
Here they come and who's that riding in that big old shiny [G] limousine
Look [A] at all that chrome I do believe that that's the sharpest [D] thing I've seen
That must belong to his rich uncle, someone said he owned a [G] big old farm
_ [A] When they get parked let's mow it down and look it over, that won't [D] do no harm _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[C] _ [B] _ [A] _ [G#m] _ [F#] [E] That must be the widow in the car and won't you take a [A] look at that _
[B] That sure is a pretty dress, you know some women do look good [E] in black
He's not even in the ground and they tell me his truck is up [Am] for sale
[A]
They [B] say she took it pretty hard but you can't tell too much [E] behind the veil _ _ _ _ _
_ Listen ain't that pretty when the bugler plays a military [A] dance
Yeah [B] I think that when he's in the war they always hide and play a [E] song like that _
Well here we are and there he goes and I guess that you might call it our [A] bad
_ _ [B] I hope he rests in peace but the trouble is the fella owes us [E] forty bucks _
