Rockabilly Blues chords by Johnny Cash

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

G+G
I took a tour to Texas and from Waco I called you

G+G
But day by day no answer and I'm big Bluebonnet blue

  C majorC
I'm singing and they're dancing but I'm feeling Big D MajorD bad

G+G              D MajorD     G+G
I'm Sweetwater beat And I'm Texas City sad


Chorus:

  C majorC
The rhythm keeps me living

  C majorC         G+G
But have you heard the news

     G+G
There's a sad song singer coming

     D MajorD     G+G
With the rockabilly blues

Verse 2:

G+G
It's hard to keep on singing when you're lonesome to the bone

G+G
10,000 happy people but I'm San Antone alone

  C majorC
One night stands and the man demands that I get up and go

G+G            D MajorD     G+G
I'm Odessa desperate and San Angelo low


Chorus:

  C majorC
The rhythm keeps me living

  C majorC         G+G
But have you heard the news

     G+G
There's a sad song singer coming

     D MajorD     G+G
With the rockabilly blues

Verse 3:

G+G
It's the same old tune in Temple about the loving I ain't had

G+G
I'm getting Beaumont bitter and Amarillo mad

   C majorC
I'm giving up on calling you 'cause you're evading me

G+G                  D MajorD      G+G
I'm coming home and if you're gone, I'm gonna be Tennessee free


Chorus:

  C majorC
The rhythm keeps me living

  C majorC         G+G
But have you heard the news

     G+G
There's a sad song singer coming

     D MajorD     G+G
With the rockabilly blues
