Nickajack Cave

E

E
Little white pills and whiskey
E
Honky tonks and smoke
E
One night stands with his country band
          E
Had him strung out on the ropes
          A
Well he cried out to Jesus
         A                                E
He said Jesus I think I'm too lost to save
      D              A               E
He already had one foot inside his grave
        D               A                   E
As he stepped into the mouth of Nickajack Cave

E
Everything was darkness
E
Wasn't no light at all
          E
Just the cold dank air and the pitch black dirt
         E
And he spiders on the walls
         A
Well he laid down beneath a ledge
     A                                      E
And curled up there to meet his judgement day
      D              A                E
The shivering came upon him wave by wave
               D                   A                  E
Well he could feel the breath of death in Nickajack Cave

E

      A
Then high above him shone a light
A
  He never would forget
        D
Then he heard a voice say Johnny Cash
          D
I ain't thru with you yet
                 E
Get up I ain't thru with you yet
E
I ain't thru with you yet Johnny Cash, get up
E

          E
Then he crawled out from beneath that ledge
E
  And felt a gentle breeze
E
Tears and dirt smeared on his face
     E
As peaceful as could be
          A
Well he knelt down upon the ground
A                                      E
Raised his eyes up to the light and prayed
         D                 A                  E
He said Lord I'll be your servant from this day
                 D                 A                 E
That's how he became the Man In Black in Nickajack Cave
                 D                 A                 E
That's how he became the Man In Black in Nickajack Cave

E
E
  Get up Johnny Cash I ain't thru with you yet
E
Get up
