    5 A Boy Named Sue Johny Cash G My daddy left home when I was three C And he didnt leave much to Ma and me D G Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze G Now, I dont blame him cause he run and hid C But the meanest thing that he ever did D G Was before he left, he went and named me Sue Well, he must o thought that is was quite a joke And it got a lot of laughs from a lot of folk It seems I had to fight my whole life through Some gal would giggle and Id get red And some guyd laugh and Id bust his head I tell ya, life aint easy for a boy named Sue Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean My fists got hard and my wits got keen Id roam from town to town to hide my shame But I made me a vow to the moon and stars That Id search the honky-tonks and bars And kill that man that gave me that awful name Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July And I just hit town and my throat was dry I thought Id stop and have myself a brew At an old saloon on a street of mud There at a table, dealing stud Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me Sue Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad From a worn-out picture that my mother had And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye He was big and bent and gray and old And I looked at him and my blood ran cold And I said: "My name is Sue! how do you do! Now you gonna die!" Well, I hit him hard right in between the eyes And he went down but, to my surprise He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear But I busted a chair right across his teeth And we crashed through the wall and into the street Kicking and a gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer I tell ya, Ive fought tougher men But I really cant remember when He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile I heard him laugh and then I heard him curse He went for his gun and I pulled mine first He stood there lookin at me and I saw him smile And he said: "Son, this world is rough And if a mans gonna make it, hes gotta be tough And I know I wouldnt be there to help ya along So I give ya that name and I said good-bye I knew youd have to get tough or die And its that name that helped to make you strong." He said: Now you just fought one hell of a fight And I know you hate me, and you got the right To kill me now, and I wouldnt blame you if you do But ya ought to thank me, before I die For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye Cause Im the son-of-a-bitch that named you Sue I got all choked up and I threw down my gun And I called him my pa, and he called me his son And I come away with a different point of view And I think about him, now and then Every time I try and every time I win And if I ever have a son, I think Im gonna name him Bill or George! Anything but sue! I still hate that name!

    C | The years rolled slowly past Em | And I found myself alone F C | Surrounded by strangers I thought they were my friends F Am G | I found myself further and further from my home. And I C | Guess I lost my way Em | There were oh, so many roads F C | I was livin to run, and runnin to live F G | Never worryin about payin, or even how much I owed

    7 Als De Nacht Verdwijnt Jan Smit A Ik weet niet meer wat ik doe; waar moet dat toch nou naartoe E A Soms loop ik maar te dromen; het is een ratjetoe A Mijn leven was naar de maan, meteen toen ik jou zag staan E F#m E Wat mij is overkomen kan ik niet langer aan

    A Als de nacht verdwijnt en de zon weer schijnt E Als ik jou zo zie klinkt een symfonie D A En je weet hoeveel ik van je hou F#m D E Heel mijn hart staat open voor jou A Als de nacht verdwijnt en de zon weer schijnt E Als ik jou zo zie klinkt een symfonie D A En je weet hoeveel ik van je hou E A Heel mijn hart staat open voor jou

    A Een glimlach van jou alleen, dat houdt me wel op de been E A Zo blond met blauwe ogen, zo zie je er maar n A Je vroeg me toen voor een dans; ik voelde dit is mijn kans E F#m E Het moest er maar van komen, we zweefden als in trance

    REPEAT

    D A Jij kan op mij vertrouwen, mijn hele leven lang F#m D E G7 want ik blijf steeds bij jou C Als de nacht verdwijnt en de zon weer schijnt G Als ik jou zo zie klinkt een symfonie F C En je weet hoeveel ik van je hou Am F G Heel mijn hart staat open voor jou C Als de nacht verdwijnt en de zon weer schijnt G Als ik jou zo zie klinkt een symfonie F C En je weet hoeveel ik van je hou C G C Heel mijn hart staat open voor jou

    The cold-blooded moon * The captain waits above the celebration, sending his thoughts * To a beloved maid, whose ebony face is beyond communication The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid They shaved her head * She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo A messenger arrived with a black nightingale I seen her on the stairs and I couldnt help but follow Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil

    REPEAT

    I stumbled to my feet * I rode past the destruction in the ditches With the stitches still mending neath the heart shaped tattoo Renegade priests and treacherous young witches Were handing out the flowers that Id given to you The palace of mirrors * Where dog soldiers are reflected The endless road and the wailing of chimes The empty rooms where her memory is protected Where the angels voices whisper to the souls of previous times

    REPEAT

    She wakes him up * Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking Near broken chains *, mountain laurel and rolling rocks Shes begging to know what measures he now will be taking Hes pulling her down and shes clutching on to his long golden locks Gentlemen, he said * I dont need your organization, Ive shined your shoes * Ive moved your mountains, and marked your cards But Eden is burning *, either get ready for elimination Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards

    REPEAT

    Peace will come * with tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire * But will offer no reward when her false idols fall * And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghosts retreating Between the King and the Queen of Swords

    26 City Of New Orleans Willie Nelson [G] Riding on the [D] City of New Or [G] leans [Em] Illinois Central, [C] Monday morning [G] rail [G] Fifteen cars and [D] fifteen restless [G] riders Three con [Em] ductors, and[D] twenty five sacks of [G] mail All a [Em] long the southbound odyssey The [Bm] train pulls out of Kankakee And [D] rolls along the houses, farms and [A] fields [Em] Passing trains that have no name And [Bm] freight yards full of old black men And [D] graveyards of the rusted automo [G] biles

    [C] Good morning Am[D] erica, how a [G] re you? Say [Em] dont you know me, [C] Im your native [G] son [D] Im the [G] train they call the [D] City of New [Em] Orleans Ill be gon [F] e five [C] hundred miles [D] when the day is [G] done

    Dealing card games with the old men in the club cars A penny a point, aint no one keeping score Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle And feel the wheels rumbling neath the floor And the sons of Pullman porters And the sons of engineers Ride their fathers magic carpet made of steel Mothers with their babes asleep Rocking to the gentle beat And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel

    REPEAT

    Nighttime on the City of New Orleans Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee Halfway home, and well be there by morning Through the Mississippi darkness, rolling down to the sea But all the towns and people seem To fade into a bad dream The steel rail still aint heard the news The conductor sings his songs again The passengers will please refrain This trains got the disappearin railroad blues
