The Father Of A Boy Named Sue ( sequel to A Boy Named Sue by Johnny Cash ) chords
Start Jamming...
[A] Well years ago.
I sang a song called boy named sue that was all right everything [D] except
I started to think [E] about it, and I thought it's unfair
I'm looking [A] at this thing from the poor kids point of view I got more older and more fatherly
I [D] began looking at things from the old [E] man's point of view I decided to give that man [A] his due
Here we go
Well, I left home when the kids three [D] that sure felt good to be fence free
[E] I knew it wasn't the fatherly thing [A] to do
That kid kept screaming and throwing up [D] and pissing in his pants till I had enough [E] just for revenge
Went named [A] him sue
Well, it was Gatberg in mid-july, and [D] I was getting drunk, but getting by [E] getting old going from bad [A] to worse
Went through the door with novel screen [D] come the ugliest queen I've ever seen [E] he says
My name is sue
How do you do?
[A] Let me hit me with his purse
This ain't the way he tells the tale that [D] he scratched my face with his fingernails
[E] They bit my thumb hit me with [A] his high-heeled shoe
Well, I hit him in the nose, and he started crying [D] he threw some perfume in my [E] eye
Sure, and easy fighting with a [A] boy named sue
So I hit him in the head with a cane back [D] charity screen hey dad you messed up my [E] hair
He hit me in the navel knocked out [A] a piece of my limbs
Well, he was spitting blood.
I was fit and saved [D] me crash through the wall and out into the street
[E] Kicking and a gouging in the mud and the [A] blood and the cream the man
Well
[D] [E]
[A]
[D] [E]
[A] it out from his garden he pulled gun, [D] and I'm about to get shot by my very own [E] son
He's screaming about Sigmund Freud [A] and looking grim
So I thought fast I told some stuff [D] how I named him sue just to make him [E] tough
I guess he bought it now.
[A] I'm living with him
Yeah, he cooks and sews he cleans up the [D] place he cuts my hair, and he shaves my [E] face
I it's my shirts better than a [A] daughter could do
And all those nights when I can't score [D] well, I shouldn't say [E] anymore
Sure is a joy to have a [A] boy named sue
[E] Yeah, son is fun.
There's a [A] joy of morning soon
[N]
