Intro
D
oh, if Johnny Cash is up in heaven
Bm
then he's bored to death
G
and probably wondering
Em
where the hell the jukebox is
A
and he misses his guitar
D
all of the dive bar bombshells up and shatter
Bm
when the shrapnel disco song is over
G
She looks all right when the music's tight
Em
but she drops like a bag of sand
A
all of the stoics said
D
when Socrates was dead
Bm
he's a hero for
G
every philosopher
Em
wants to pass with grace
A
that's a big mistake
D
the hemlock tasted
Bm
like a whiskey drink, oh
G
all of the angels clip their wings with scissors
Em
oh, and johnny cash picks up the feathers
A
it pays all right, but it's not quite like
D
when the marquee spelled his name
Bm
oh, when the marquee spelled his name
G
all of the dive bar graveyards raise their glasses
Em
to the passing times and timeless passes
A
at quiet flirts so it didn't hurt
D
when you fell from the heaven, girl
Bm
all of the stoics said
G
when Socrates was dead
Outro
Em
he's a hero for
A
every philosopher
D
wants to pass with grace
Bm
that's a big mistake
G
the hemlock tasted
Em
like a whiskey drink, oh
