The Beast In Me Chords by Johnny Cash

[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The beast in [C] me _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] is [Gm] caged by frail and [C] fragile bars, _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] Restless [Bm] by [G] day and by [C] night, _ [Bb] rants and rages at [G] the stars.
_ [D] _ _ _
_ [F] God help [G] _ the [C] beast in me. _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ The beast [C] in _ me _ has _ [F] _ _ [C] had to learn [G] to [C] live with pain, _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ And [Bm] how to [G] shelter _ [C] from the rain. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And in the twinkling of an eye, might [Bb] have to be [D] _ restrained. _ _ _ _
_ [F] God help [G] _ the [C] beast in me. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [Ab] Sometimes _ it [Fm] tries to [E] kid me that [Dm] it's just a teddy [F] bear,
_ _ And [C] even somehow manage _ to vanish in the air.
And that is when I must [G] beware _ _ _ of the beast [C] in me. _ _ _ _ _
_ That [G] everybody _ _ _
[C] _ knows. _ _ _ _ _
[F] They've [C] [G] seen him out dressed in [C] my clothes,
_ _ Patently _ [G]
unclear.
_ [D] _ _ _ [F] If it's New York _ _ or [C] New Year,
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ God help [G] the [C] beast in me.
The _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ beast in me. _ _ _ _ _ _
