1st VERSE

Folsom Prison Blues — Johnny Cash 

CI hear the train a coming it's rolling round the bendAnd I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when     F                                            C I'm stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps dragging on       G7                                  CBut that train keeps rolling on down to San Antone When I was just a baby my mama told me SonAlways be a good boy don't ever play with gunsBut I shot a man in Reno just to watch him dieWhen I hear that whistle blowing I hang my head and cry  I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining carThey're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigarsBut I know I had it coming I know I can't be freeBut those people keep a moving and that's what tortures me Well if they freed me from this prison  if that railroad train was mineI bet I'd move on over a little farther down the lineFar from Folsom Prison that's where I want to stayAnd I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away

Ghost Riders in the Sky - Vaughn Monroe

Am C An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy dayUpon a ridge he rested as he went along his wayAmWhen all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw F Am A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steelTheir horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky For he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry Am CYippie yi OhhhhhC AmYippie yi yaaaaay F AmGhost Riders in the sky F AmGhost Riders in the sky

Faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, shirts all soaked with sweatHe's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky On horses snorting fire / As they ride on hear their cry

As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his nameIf you want to save your soul from Hell a-riding on our rangeThen cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride Trying to catch the Devil's herd, across these endless skies

Johnny Be Good - Chuck Berry

Blues in A ( A A A A D D A A E D A E ) Deep down in Louisiana, close to New Orleans,Way back up in the woods among the evergreens,There stood a log cabin made of earth and woodWhere lived a country boy named Johnny B. GoodeWho never ever learned to read or write so well,But he could play the guitar just like a ringin' a bell.

Go! Go! Go, Johnny, go! Go!Go, Johnny, go! Go!Go, Johnny, go! Go!Go, Johnny, go! Go! Johnny B. Goode

He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack,Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track.Old engineers would see him sittin' in the shade,Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made.When people passed him by they would stop and say,'oh, my but that little country boy could play' — CHORUS

His mother told him, 'someday you will be a man,You will be the leader of a big ol' band.Many people comin' from miles aroundWill hear you play your music when the sun go down.Maybe someday your name'll be in lights,Sayin' 'Johnny B. Goode tonight'' — CHORUS

Kawliga - Hank Williams

DmKawliga, was a wooden Indian standing by the doorHe fell in love with an Indian maid over in the antique store

AKawliga- ah, just stood there and never let it show

DmSo she could never answer “yes” or “no”

He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawkThe maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talkKawliga-ah, too stubborn to ever show a signBecause his heart was made of knotty pine.

DPoor ol' Kawliga, he never got a kissGPoor ol' Kawliga, he don't know what he missedD A7Is it any wonder that his face is red

DmKawliga that poor ol' wooden head.

Kawliga, was a lonely Indian never went nowhereHis heart was set on the Indian maiden with the coal black hairKawliga - ah, just stood there and never let it showSo she could never answer “yes” or “no”.

Then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maidAnd took her, oh, so far away, but ol' Kawliga stayedKawliga-ah, just stands there as lonely as can beAnd wishes he was still an old pine tree. — CHORUS

You're my gal and I'm your feller dress up in my frock and yellerI'll look swell but you'll look sweller, settin' the woods on fire

F CWe'll take in all the honky tonks / tonight we're having fun D7 GWe'll show the folks a brand new dance / that never has been done

I don't care who thinks we're silly, you'll be daffy I'll be dillyWe'll order up two bowls of chili, settin' the woods on fire

— solo —

I'll gas up my hot rod stoker, we'll get hotter than a pokerYou'll be broke but I'll be broker, tonight we're settin' the woods on fire

We'll sit close to one another, up our street and down the otherC

we'll have ball oh brother settin' the woods on fire

F CWe'll put aside a little time to fix a flat or two D7 GMy tire and tubes are doin fine but the air is showin' through

You clap hands and I'll start howlin, we'll do all the law's allowinTomorrow I'll be right back plowin’, settin' the woods on fire

16 Tons - Merle Travis

Cm (\Bb) (\Ab) (\G)Some people say a man is made outa mudCm (\Bb) (\Ab) (\G)A poor man's made outa muscle 'n blood...Cm Eb Fm AbMuscle an' blood an' skin an' boneCm Gm CmA mind that's weak and a back that's strong

You load sixteen tons an' whaddya get? Another day older an' deeper in debt Saint Peter doncha call me 'cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company sto'

If ya hear me a-comin' ya better step asideA lotta men din't an' a lotta men diedWith one fist of iron an' the other of steelIf the right one don' getcha then the left one will.

I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shinePicked up my shovel and I went to the mineLoaded sixteen tons of number nine coalAnd the strawboss said, "Well, Bless my soul!"

I was born one morning in the drizzlin' rainFightin' and trouble are my middle nameI was raised in the canebreak by an' ol' mama houndAin't no high-tone woman gonna push me around.
