Cocaine Blues chords by Johnny Cash

[Ab] [Db] .
Early one morning while making the rounds, I took a shot of cocaine [Ab] and I shot my woman down.
I went right home and I went to bed.
[Db] I snuck an [Ab] 11-44 beneath my [Db] head.
Got up next morning and I grabbed that gun, took a shot of [Ab] cocaine and away I run.
Made a good run but I run too slow.
[Db] They overtook me down in Juarez, [Ab] Mexico.
.
[Db] Stayed in the hot joints taking the pill and walked the sheriff [Ab] from Jericho Hill.
He said, Willie Lee, your name is not Jack [Ab] Brown.
He heard the dirty hack and shot your woman down.
[Db] .
I said, yes, oh yes, my name is Willie Lee.
If you've got a warrant [Ab] just read it to me.
Shot her down because she made me [Fm] slow.
[Bbm] I thought I was her daddy but she had [Ab] five more.
[Db] .
When I was arrested I was dressed in black.
They put me on [Fm] a [Ab] train and they took me back.
Had no friends for to go my bail.
[Db] They slapped my dad a [Ab] carcass in that county jail.
[Db] Early next morning about a half past nine, I spotted [Ab] sheriff coming down the line.
Hopped in and coughed as he cleared his throat.
He said, let alone you dirty hack into that district court.
[Db] Into the courtroom my trial began where I was handled [Ab] by twelve honest men.
Just before the jury started [Cm] out, [Db] I saw that little judge come in to look [Ab] about.
[Db] In about five minutes and walked the man holding the verdict [Ab] in his right hand.
The verdict read in the first degree.
[Db] I [Ab] hollered, Lordy, Lordy, mercy on me.
[Db] The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen.
Ninety-nine years [Ab] in the Folsom pen.
Ninety-nine years underneath that [Bb] ground.
[Db] I can't forget the day I shot that bad [Cm] bitch down.
[Db] Come on you [C] gotta [Gb] listen unto me.
[Eb] Lay off that whiskey [Ab] and let that [Db] cocaine be.
.
[N] [Ab] .
[Db] [N] These men have receptions, Matlock, A50632 and Batshelter, A39879.
They have receptions.
.
I've done that.
