Johnny Yuma Theme Tom: A Intro: | A | A |A | A |
A He came in like a restless wind
Yuma is the name
He'll be going like the July snow
Following the sun, man
Better watch his gun, man

Til the Wild West is tamed
C Johnny's slow and easy going
Like a tumbleweed
Had to kill in Albuquerque
But justice is his creed
From Texas to the Black Hills
G
Come and watch for Johnny Yuma
C A
For the wrong will not succeed
A You may find him bedded with
The buffalo at night
Had a gal in Jackson Town
That begged him not to fight but
Ardent soul is in a rut
E
To help to calm a stormy land
A C
And make a few wrongs right
C If you perk the innocent
Keep your back from the door
Sleep with one eye open
Keep a loaded .44, man
Better watch that right hand
G
Johnny Yuma's got his quick
C A
When trouble's at the fore (fade out)

The Ballad Of Boot Hill
Tom: G
G
Here lies Les Moore,
D
four slugs from a forty-four,
G
no Les no more.
Em G
Out in Arizona, just south of Tucson,
Em D
where tumbleweeds tumble in search of a home,
there's a town they call Tombstone
G
where the brave never cry.
Em D G
They live by a six-gun, by a six-gun they die.
Em G
It's been a long time now since the town was a boon.
Em D
The jailhouse is empty, so's the Palace Saloon.
G
Just one look will tell you that this town was real.
Em D G
A secluded old dirt road leads up to Boot Hill.
Em G
Walk up to the fence there and look at the view;
Em D
That's where they were hangin', eighteen-eighty-two.
G
It's easy to see where the brave men died;
Em D G
Rope marks on the old tree are now petrified.
Em G
At night, when the moon shines so far away,
Em D
It gets mighty lonesome, lookin' down on their graves.
G
There lies Billy Klen; never wanted to kill,
Em D G
but he's there with the guilty, way up on Boot Hill.

Dont Go Near The Water
Tom: A
A
From the fountains in the mountains
E A
comes the water running cool and clear and blue.
A
And it comes down from the hills
E A
and it goes down to the towns and passes through.
D
When it gets down to the cities,
A
then the water turns into a dirty gray.
A
It's poisoned and polluted
E A
by the people as it goes along its way.
D
Don't go near the water children,
A
see the fish all dead upon the shore.
D
Don't go near the water,
A E A
cause the water isn't water any-more.
I took my boy fishin' to my old favorite fishin' hole. I had caught many a fish out of that deep, clear water, From the time I was a boy like him. After we'd fished a few minutes, he said: "Did you get a bite yet daddy?" I said: "I think I got a nibble son." "Me too", he said. Then he said: "Daddy if we catch a fish can we eat it?" I said: "Well there was a time son. This water's bad now and I might not be safe to eat the fish, but there was a time."
A
There was a time the air was clean
E A
and you could see forever cross the plains.
A
The wind was sweet as honey
E A
and no one had ever heard of acid rain.
D
We're torturin' the earth
A
and pourin' every kind of evil in the sea.
A
We violated nature
E A
and our children have to pay the penal-ty.

It Comes And Goes Tom: A
A D A
I've been up, and down and out, and I have been around,
E A
And I've felt good more times than I've felt bad.
A D A
Lovin' you felt better than I've ever known before,
E A
Losin' you's the worst pain that I've had.
CHORUS
N.C E A
But it comes and goes, it's like a blue wind blows,
E A
Yes it goes and comes, but now I'm livin' some.
D A
And today my high didn't get any lower, and my low didn't fall anymore,
E A
But sometimes when I drop my guard everybody kno-ows.
D
Cos I can't control the feeling,
A
And there ain't much sign of healin'.
E A E
Cos when the pain is there, it always sho-ows,
N.C
But it comes and goes.
In my mind I'm holding you and loving you again, I hear you laugh and I feel you cling to me. Although it's over I'm still holding on a little bit, And there's a lot of pain in the memory.

My whole body's achin' but I got to make them big wheels roll
A G D
I got to be in Florida by tomorrow morning with a full heavy load

Cause the mountain wants your rig and trucker I want your soul

D
When I started down Monteagle the brakes just wouldn't hold
A G D
I knew I was in trouble and a-bout to lose control
D
The runaway ramp was waitin' I saw the warnin' sign
A G D
I said Lord help me make it have mercy on this soul of mine
D
Well I ploughed into that runaway ramp and I could feel that big truck groan
A G D
My life flashed right before my eyes and for a minute I thought I was gone
D
But when the smoke cleared I thanked God that I was still alive
A G D
Cause when there's a runaway on Monteagle some truckers don't sur-vive

Nothing but the thought of you
Am F C G
I went wandering
I went drifting through the capitals of tin Where men cant walk Or freely talk And sons turn their fathers in I stopped outside a church house Where the citizens like to sit They say they want the kingdom But they dont want God in it
I went out riding Down that ol eight lane I passed by a thousand signs Looking for my own name
I went with nothing But the thought youd be there too Looking for you
I went out there In search of experience To taste and to touch And to feel as much As a man can Before he repents
I went out searching, lookin for one good man A spirit who would not bend or break Who would sit at his fathers right hand I went out walking with a Bible and a gun The word of God lay heavy on my heart I was sure I was the one Now jesus, dont you wait up Jesus, Ill be home soon Yeah I went out for the papers Told her Id be back by noon
Yeah I left with nothing But the thought youd be there too Looking for you... Yeah I left with nothing Nothing but the thought of you... I went wandering

Tennessee Flat Top Box Tom: C Intro: G, C.

In a little cabaret in a South Texas border town,
Sat a boy and his guitar, and the people came from all around.
C G
And all the girls from there to Austin,
C
Were slippin' away from home and puttin' jewelery in hock.
G
To take the trip, to go and listen,
C
To the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box.
F
And he would play: [Instrumental]
C G
Well, he couldn't ride or wrangle, and he never cared to make a dime.
But give him his guitar, and he'd be happy all the time.
C G
And all the girls from nine to ninety,
C
Were snapping fingers, tapping toes, and begging him: "Don't stop."
G
And hypnotized and fascinated,
C
By the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box.
F
And he would play: [Instrumental]
Then one day he was gone, and no one ever saw him 'round, He'd vanished like the breeze, they forgot him in the little town. But all the girls still dreamed about him. And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked. And then one day on the Hit Parade, Was a little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box.
And he would play: [Instrumental] End on a C

Any Old Wind That Blows Tom: A Intro: A D A
A D A
Lord she's restless, like cotton candy clouds that sail the day, slow and
D
free
A D A D
And she possesses a mind that can't resign to stay, for long with me
E
Though I've tried and tried to keep her tied
D A D
And satisfied until she really needs me, yes I do
A E
But when that certain look comes on her face I can't replace it and she
A
leaves me
CHORUS:
E D
She's a butterfly in mid July who just can't wait to try her brand new
A D
wings, on brand new things
A E A
And she needs no rhyme or reason when she goes
E D
Her mind is on what lies beyond that wall
A D
And blue horizon I suppose and heaven knows
A E A
She'll go sailin' off on any old wind that blows
D A
Yes she will, yes she will
A E A
She'll go sailin' off on any old wind that blows
I know she needs me, about as much as I need someone else, which I don't And if need be, I swear someday I'll up and leave myself, which I won't Even if she loved another man I'd understand it more than I do Mmmm Mmmmm Mmmm But I know the only reason that she ever has for leavin' is she wants to
She's a butterfly in mid July who just can't wait to try her brand new wings, on brand new things And she needs no rhyme or reason when she goes Her mind is on what lies beyond that wall And blue horizon I suppose and heaven knows She'll go sailin' off on any old wind that blows Yes she will, yes she will She'll go sailin' off on any old wind that blows
Frankie And Johnny Tom: G
G Well now Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts
They were true as a blue, blue sky
C
He was a long-legged guitar-picker
D
With a wicked, wondering eye
G
But he was her man nearly all of the time
Well Johnny he packed up a leaven'
But he promised he'd be back
C
He said he had a little picking' to do
G
A little further down the track
D G
He said,"I'm your man, I wouldn't do you wrong"
Well Frankie curled up on the sofa
Thinkin' about her man
C G
Far away couples were dancin' to the music of his band
D G
He was Frankie's man he wasn't doin' her wrong
Then in the front door walked a redhead
Johnny saw her right away
C G
She came down by the bandstand to watch him while he played
D G
He was Frankie's man but she was far away
He sang another song to the redhead
She smiled back at him
C
Then he came and sat at her table
G
Where the lights were low and dim
D G
What Frankie didn't know wouldn't hurt her none
Then the redhead jumped up and slapped him
She slapped him a time or two
C G
She said,"I'm Frankie's sister and I was checking up on you"
D G
"If you're her man you'd better treat her right"
Well the moral of this story
Is be good but carry a stick
C
Sometimes it looks like a guitar-picker
G
Just can't tell what to pick
D G
He was Frankie's man and he still ain't done her wrong

Now pay close attention little children it's somebody you ought to know It's all about a man that walked on earth nearly two thousand years ago Well he healed the sick and afflicted it and he raised 'em from the dead Then they nailed him on an old rugged cross and put thorns on his head
Who was it everybody... Well they took him down and they buried him and after the third day When they came to his tomb where they knew he was gone Cause the stone was rolled away He's not here for he is risen the angel of the Lord then said And when they saw him walking with these nail-scared hands They knew he came back from the dead Who was it everybody...

Long Black Veil Live Tom: Bb
Bb
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
F7 Eb Bb
Someone was killed, 'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
F7 Eb Bb
That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me
Eb Bb Eb Bb
She walks these hills in a long black veil
Eb Bb Eb Bb
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Eb Bb
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Eb F7 Bb
Nobody knows but me
Bb
The judge said son, what is your alibi
F7 Eb Bb
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word, al-tho' it meant my life
F7 Eb Bb
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
Bb
The scaffold is high and eternity's near
F7 Eb Bb
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans
F7 Eb Bb
In a long black veil, she cries o'er my bones
Eb Bb Eb Bb
She walks these hills in a long black veil
Eb Bb Eb Bb
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Eb Bb
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Eb F7 Bb
Nobody knows but me

He Stopped Loving Her Today Tom: E
E He said I'll love you til I die
A She told him you'll forget in time
Bb As the years went slowly by
E She still preyed upon his mind
E He kept her picture on his wall
A Went half crazy now and then
Bb He still loved her through it all
E Hoping she'd come back again
E Kept some letters by his bed
A and in 1962
Bb He had underlined in red
E Every single I love you
E I went to see him just today
A Oh but I didn't see no tears
Bb All dressed up to go away
E First time I'd seen him smile in years
CHORUS:
E
He stopped loving her today
E7 Bb They placed a wreath upon his door
D7 And soon they'll carry him away
E He stopped loving her today
E You know she came to see him one last time
A Oh and we all wondered if she would
Bb And it kept running through my mind
E This time he's over her for good
(CHORUS)

Flesh And Blood Tom: G
G C G
Beside a singin' mountain stream where the willow grew
C G A7 D
Where the silver leaf of maple sparkled in the mornin' dew
G C G
I braided twigs of willow, made a string of buckeye beads
C G C G
But flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need
C G C G
Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need
I leaned against the bark of birch and I breathed the honeydew I saw a northbound flock of geese against a sky of baby blue Beside the lily pads I carved a whistle from a reed Mother Nature's quite a lady, but you're the one I need Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need
Interlude: C and G x4
A cardinal sang just for me and I thanked him for the song Then the sun went slowly down the west and I had to move along These were some of the things on which my mind and spirit feed But flesh and blood needs flesh and blood but you're the one I need Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need
So, when the day was ended I was still not satisfied For I knew everything I touched would wither away and die And love is all that will remain and grow from all these seeds Mother's Nature's quite a lady, but you're the one I need Flesh and blood needs flesh and blood and you're the one I need

Let Him Roll Tom: D Intro: D G A D
D G Let him roll, boys let him roll A D I bet he's gone to Dallas Rest his soul
D Now He was a wino, tried and true G Done about everything there is to do A He worked on freighters, he worked in bars D He worked on farms, 'n he worked on cars
Now it was white port whine, that put that look in his eye That grown men get when they need to cry And we sat down on the curb to rest And his head just fell down on his chest
He said "Every single day it gets just a little bit harder to handle and yet..." Then he lost the thread and his mind got cluttered The words just rolled off down in the gutter
He was a elevator man in a cheap hotel In exchange for the rent on a one room cell And he's years old before his time No thanks to the world, and the white Port wine
And he said "Son", he always called me son He said, "Life for you has just begun" And then he told me the story that I heard before How he fell in love with a Dallas whore
He could cut through the years to the very night That it all ended, in a whore house fight And she turned his last proposal down In favor of being a girl about town
Now it's been seventeen years right in line And he ain't been straight none of the time It's too many years of fightin' the weather And too many nights of not being together
D So he died...
D G
Let him roll, boys let him roll
A D
I bet he's gone to Dallas Rest his soul
G
Let him roll, boys let him roll
A
He always thought that heaven
G D
was just a Dallas whore
When they went through his personal affects In among the stubs from the welfare checks Was a crumblin' picture of a girl in a door An address in Dallas, and nothin' more
Well the welfare people provided the priest And a couple from the mission down the street Sang Amasing Grace, and nobody cried 'Cept some lady in black way off to the side
We all left and she's standing there The black veil covering her silver hair And One-Eyed John said her name was Alice She used to be a whore in Dallas
D G
Let him roll, boys let him roll
A D
I bet he's gone to Dallas Rest his soul
G
Let him roll, boys let him roll
A
He always thought that heaven
G D
was just a Dallas whore
D G A D Let him roll, boys let him roll
Sweeter Than The Flowers Tom: A
A D A
Just as far as I can remember
E A
She'll remain the rose of my heart
A D A
Mum fell sick along in December
E A
February brought us broken hearts
The reason we've not called a family reunion We knew that she wouldn't be there But now that we've thought it all over Mama We know you're spirit is here
D A No, no, I can't forget the hours you’re the dearest one mum D E And sweeter than the flowers D A Oh no there's no use to bother To speak of you now D E would only hurt Father D A Oh no momma we'll never forget you D E A And someday we'll meet you up there
We all gathered round and I stared at their faces All heads were bowed mighty low But this was one time we all had to face it Though it hurt us so badly you know
Well it felt so good for us to be together But I had to look after dad Oh no Mother when I passed by your casket I didn't want to remember you dead
Oh no I can't forget the hours your the only one Momma And sweeter than the flowers Oh no there's no use to bother To speak of you now would only hurt Father Oh no momma we'll never forget you And someday we'll meet you up there

A Boy Named Sue Tom: A
A D
Well, my daddy left home when I was three,
E7
And he didn't leave much to Ma and me,
A
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid,
D E7
But the meanest thing that he ever did,
A
Was before he left, he went and named me Sue.
Well, he musta thought that is quite a joke,
And it got a lot of laughs from a lots of folks.
Seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red,
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named Sue.
Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fists got hard and my wits got keen,
Roamed from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made me a vow to the moon and stars,
I'd search the honky-tonks and bars,
And kill that man that gimme that awful name.
Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July,
And I'd just hit town and my throat was dry,
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me "Sue."
Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad,
From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold,
And I said: "My name is Sue!
"How do you do!
"Now you gonna die!!"
Yeah, that's what I told him!
Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes,
And he went down, but to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth,
And we crashed through the wall and into the street,
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.
I tell you, I've fought tougher men,
But I really can't remember when.
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
An' he went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.
And he said: "Son, this world is rough,
"And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough,
"And I knew I wouldn't be there to help you along.
"So I give ya that name and I said goodbye,
"I knew you'd have to get tough or die,
"And it's the name that helped to make you strong."
He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight,
"And I know you hate me, and you got the right,
"To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
"But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
"For the gravel in your guts and the spit in ya eye,
"'Cos I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you Sue."
Yeah, what could I do,? What could I do?
I got all choked up and I threw down my gun,
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I came away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win.
And if I ever have a son,
I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George!
Anything but Sue!
I still hate that name!
Oh, bury me not Tom: A
(rather spoken than sung : )
A
1. Lord, I've never lived where churches grow,
E
I loved creation better as it stood,
that day you finished it so long ago,
A
and looked upon your work and called it good.
A
2. I know that others find you in the light,
E
that sifted down through tinted window panes,
and yet I seem to feel you near tonight
A
in this dim, quiet starlight on the plains.
A
3. I thank you, Lord, that I'm placed so well,
E
that you've made my freedom so complete,
that I'm no slave to whistle, clock or bell,
A
nor weak-eyed prisoner of Waller Street.
A
4. Just let me live my life as I've begun,
E
and give me work that's open to the sky,
make me a partner of the wind and sun,
A
and I won't ask a life that's soft or high.
A
5. Let me be easy on the man that's down,
E
let me be square and generous with all,
I'm careless sometimes, Lord, when I'm in town,
A
but never let ‘em say I'm mean or small.
A
6. Make me as big and open as the plains,
E
and honest as the horse between my knees,
clean as the wind that blows behind the rains,
A
free as the hawk that circles down the breeze.
A
7. Forgive me, Lord, if sometimes I forget,
E
you know about the reasons that are hid,
you understand the things that gall or fret,
A
well, you knew me better than my mother did.
A
8. Just keep an eye on all that's done or said,
E
and right me sometimes when I turn aside,
and guide me on that long, dim trail ahead
A
that stretches upward toward the great divide
A
(sung : ) Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie,
E
these words came low and mournfully
A
from the pallid lips of a youth who lay
E A
on his dying bed at the close of day.
- - - - A
Oh, bury me not, and his voice failed there,
E
but we took no heed to his dying prayer,
A
in a shallow grave just six by three,
E A
we buried him there on the lone prairie.
Why me Lord Tom: A Intro: A - E - B7 - E - B7
E A
1. Why me, Lord? What have I ever done
E B7
to deserve even one of the blessings I've known ?
E A E
Why me, Lord ? What did I ever do that was worth love from you,
B7 E - E7
and the kindness you've shown.
A E Lord, help me Jesus, I've wasted it, so help me, B7 E - E7 Jesus, I know what I am. A E Now that I know, that I‘ve needed you so, help me, B7 E Jesus, my soul's in your hands.
- B7 E A
2. Try me, Lord, if you think there's a way,
E B7
that I can repay what I've taken from you.
E A
Maybe Lord, I could show someone else,
E B7 E - E7
what I've been through myself on my way back to you.
+ CHORUS +
B7 A - E
Jesus, my soul's in your hands.
