The Ghost Of Johnny Cash Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

AmI woke up in a cold sweat, from a Gdream at 3am,

 I was D/F♯driftin' on a sea of shadows; the rain was Fwhippin' in the wind

AmI saw a man Cdressed all in black, reach Gout and take the D/F♯helm,

 And he Fcharted us a course, out Einto the spirit Amrealm.

AmI can taste the salt; Gfeel the blisters on my hand

D/F♯As I'm pulling at the ores, rowing Fon to glory land,

AmAnd sitting in the Cstern, singin' Ghymns and talkin' D/F♯trash

AmIs my broken Gguardian D/F♯angel, the Fghost of EJohnny CasAmh.

AmWell, Johnny's quoting from the bible, Gwhile I'm trying to steer this leaky craft,

D/F♯And his familiar voice reminds me that FI'm man who's cut in half,

AmHis tarnished halo Cslips and shines, as the Graging billows D/F♯crash,

 And I'm Amriding Gout the D/F♯deluge with the Fghost of EJohnny CasAmh

Chorus

 Some Gsinners need their saints to be survivors of the fall,

 Cuz' Amwhen you're down here Gon your knees, most D/F♯angels look to Etall,

 So AmI'll just live this life Gout dust to D/F♯dust and ash to Fash,

AmWith my Gguide from the D/F♯other side the Fghost of EJohnny CaAmsh,

Interlude

Am G D/F♯ F Am

AmYou gotta' stand for something, Gcuz' when you're gone your gone

D/F♯The devil lost a lot of souls when FJohnny put that black suit on,

 He's sAmtill flipping off the CPharacies and Glaughing at old D/F♯scratch

 While he Amhaunts the Ghalls of D/F♯heaven, the Fghost of EJohnny CaAmsh

Chorus

 Some Gsinners need their saints to be survivors of the fall,

 Cuz' Amwhen you're down here Gon your knees, most D/F♯angels look to Etall,

 So AmI'll just live this life Gout dust to D/F♯dust and Fash to ash,

AmWith my Gguide from the D/F♯other side the Fghost of EJohnny CAmash,

AmYeah, I'll just live this Glife out dust to D/F♯dust and ash to Fash

 Until I'm Amraisin' Ghell in D/F♯heaven with the FghoEst of Johnny CaAmsh
