Johnny Cash   Big River  1961 chords
Start Jamming...
Molly B [Em] [B] and your host [N] Charlie
Good evening and welcome [Bbm] to Star Out USA.
You know the world we live in moves pretty fast today.
We got supersonic airplanes and astronauts that circle the globe like three [F] times before breakfast.
But about the best example [Bb] of speed I can think of is the rocket-like career of [Gb] our special guest star [F] on Star Out.
He made his first record in 1955 and in the few short years since he's shot into orbit as America's number one folk singer.
[Bb] Star Out USA salutes the fabulous Johnny K.
[N]
[C] [F]
I showed the clouds how to cover up a [C] clear blue sky
[F] And the tears of that cry to that woman, [Bb]
gonna let you be the river
[F] And I'm [Cm] gonna sit right here until [Fm] I die
[F] I met her accidentally in St.
Paul, Minnesota
And it pulled me up every time I [G] heard her twaddle
[Cm] [F] Then I heard her scream back [Bb] downstream aboard Nendavant IV
[F] And I thought, oh, [C] she's bigger [Fm] than a frog
[F] Then [Fm]
[F] [Bb]
[F] [Bb] [C]
[F] she all of a sudden gave me a look later on down the river
Afraid, I said, she's been here, but [Gm] she's gone, boy, she's [F] gone
I found her trail in Memphis, [Bbm] but she just walked up the [Bb] block
She raised a few eyebrows [C] and then she went on [Fm] down the walk
[F] Now I walk through Static Town by Black Roof
Oh, no, take that woman on down [G] to New York
And bring her to [C] New Orleans
[F] Oh, I've had enough of my [Bb] blues, Johnny, go
I [F] [C] lost you, Vick, and you're the one [Fm] to me
[F] [Fm]
[F] [Bb] [N]
[Eb] Thanks for having us.
Thanks for having us.
You and the orchestra and the whole bunch.
During the show, we're gonna hear a lot of music
and learn a little about an old friend of mine here.
But right now, John, I'd like you to meet another friend.
You mean the sponsor?
Yeah, there he is right there.
