Mr.
Big, we don't want to play on bongos.
We had the full rehearsal studio with big amps and big drums.
And so I had to drive there.
This is the first time that I'm doing a lot of daily driving.
It's like I'm going to work.
I've got my 20-minute drive to rehearsal studio.
And, you know, what am I going to do in the car except memorize Johnny Cash lyrics?
[C]
I don't even [G] know the guitar.
[C] Don't call my name [A] out your window I'm [C] leaving.
I [Gb] won't even turn [G] my head.
[C] Don't tell your kin folks [A] to give me no [D] talking.
I'll [G] be gone like I said.
[C] You've been saying the same old thing that you've been saying all along.
[F] Lay there in your [F] bed.
Keep your mouth shut till I'm [E] gone.
Don't [D] give me that old familiar crying fuss and [D] moan.
Understand you're a man.
[A] Do what I told you now.
Understand you're a man.
I'm [D] tired of your bad mouthing.
[G] Understand you're a man.
[A] Meditate on it.
[Bb] He's [Eb] a genius.
[Bbm]
Now I actually can't remember.
I haven't looked to see how Johnny Cash wears his guitar strap.
But there's a way, you know, most rock players have their guitar strap coming off up here.
But a lot of country guys wrap it around the nut.
So the strap is like, you know, hanging through the air like this.
It's kind of cowboy style.
So I'm not sure if he did that.
But to me, it feels like it, you know, if you're [Ab] doing like a
It feels better when you do that.
So we're actually going to play a Johnny Cash song with the full band accompaniment.
And I'm going to do the solo, which is like, you [C] know,
[F] I'm going to simulate the cowboy strap with my arm.
So this one's called Blue Train.
[C]
[F]
There's an engine out of the station.
That motor so blows my name.
Call, call, call, [F] come and get aboard [C] the train.
My [F] baby's gone and I'm alone to live in misery.
[C] I'm going to [C] call and make a [F] reservation for me.
[C] Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train.
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna [F] ride a blue train.
[C]
[F] [C]
[F] [C]
I'm gonna climb aboard right until I learn to smile.
I'll be knocking out the blues while I'm knocking down the miles.
With my target rhythm to the click clack of the wheel.
I'm gonna sing the blues, that's the [F] way that I [C] feel.
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna [F] ride a blue train.
[C] Gonna ride a blue train, [F] gonna ride a blue train.
[C] [F]
[C] [Fm] [C]
Conductor go tell the man to shovel on the boat.
It ain't as nearly half as bad as long as I can roll.
[F] Get me another ticket and I'll sit [C] and ride with you.
There's nothing [G] left to live for in the [C] world we're rolling through.
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna ride a blue train.
Gonna ride a blue train, gonna [F] ride a blue train.
