Chicken In Black

E A B7 E E For two long years my head hurt bad A So a doctor checked me an he shook his head B7 He said I'm sorry to tell you E But your body's outlived your brain He said I know this doctor in New York, son A And he'll fix you right up with a brand new one B7 So the head doctor met me E When I stepped down off of the train. E He said we had this bank robber killed last night A His body's shot but his brain's alright B7 I'll give you a transplant, boy E And you'll be OK I got my new brain in and I was feelin' great A I went right back to Nashville with no headache B7 But something strange happened E When I walked in the bank one day. A I said stick 'em up ever'body I'm robbin' this place E Drop all of your money in my guitar case A B7 Don't nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door E A lady said, why you're Johnny Cash A I said no ma'am , I'm the Manhattan Flash B7 E And I am the best bank robber in New York. E Now the other night Roy Acuff called me A He said John I'd like for you to do the Opry B7 E So I went out on the stage, but I couldn't sing I got into a half a verse of 'I Walk The Line' A And something snapped in this head of mine B7 I yelled stick 'em up - E Give me your money, your watches and rings.
