Johnny Cash You Devil

​Here it is folks.  From the someday release, Self Portrait of Me, it's "Johnny Cash You Devil."  Remember what I said about Harlan Howard, and his definition of country music, "Three chords and the truth?"  Well, here we go again.  Sorry that I couldn't get the TAB for the musical notation in the intro and outro.  The intro is basically the"Walk the Line" in G.  The outro is a variation that Chuck and I came up with.  Mostly chuck.

C                        G                                                                                                                                                           
Verse:
G                                G
Johnny Cash you devil
C                                         C
What’s this “walk the line?”
D
My fevered brain
D 
Strayed in that lane
        C                                     G
For one who was never mine.


G                               G
Johnny Cash you devil
C                                   C
What’s this “walk the line?”
D
Oh what a load
D 
I was in that mode
        C                                    G
For one who was never mine.

Chorus:
D                                                D
I’m gonna get me a pirate ship
Am                         C
To heaven I’ll make a trip
D                                           D
I’ll snatch you from the lord
Am                                         C
And make you walk the plank
C                                                    G
Like you made me walk the line.


Verse:
Pauly Mac you devil
Why do you pick on Jude?
Much to my chagrin
I let her under my skin
I think your advice quite rude.

Pauly Mac you devil
Why do you pick on Jude?
When I closed my heart
I made a better start
Your lust for gold’s quite lewd.

Chorus:
Well Pauly you’re still alive
I got no time for your jive
If you really want to make it better
She’ll break you and I’ll let her
Go and remarry Heather Mills.



Verse:
        Johnny Cash you devil
        I’m gonna make you pay
        For waitin’ on a train
        For a love in vain
        I’m gonna send you on your way.

        Johnny Cash you devil
        What’s this “walk the line?”
        Oh how cruel 
        Rejection’s gruel
        A dish on which I dine

        Chorus:
        You no good low down knave
        I’ll snatch you from the grave
        Put you on my pirate ship
        And make you walk the plank
        Like you made me walk the line.

Chuck Pinnell wrote the intro and the outro and helped with the arrangement.
