Capo: 3

This song Ellis plays live and is not yet on an album. Standard blues shuffle. There are multiple video versions on YouTube. He plays it in either C# with an open tuning, or in E (C# open tuning with capo on 3rd fret). Chords are just bar chords for I, IV, V. Apologies in advance for the lyrics at the bridge. There are just a few lines that are tough to understand from the vids. All other lyrics should be accurate. C# open tuning C# G# C# F G# C# Capo: 3rd fret to play in E LYRICS

^ENow, Johnny Cash, the man in black, was at the Grand Ole Opry ^ADrunk with ambition, whiskey and coffee

^EHe was dancing with demons. Nothing could stop him ^Btonight, tonight ^EIt felt like a church, he said a little prayer

^ARan to the stage taking two and three stairs ^EYou can heckle old Johnny, hell he wouldn't care 'cause to^Bnight,

He's gonna kick out the lights. CHORUS:

^EKick out the lights, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash ^AKick out the lights, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash

^EKick out the lights, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash ^BKick out the lights

^ENow you can play a big theater to chandeliers and pearls ^ARage inside a stadium to rows of pretty girls

^ETake your fancy jet, tour around the world, if^B you like, it's alright ^EOr you can play Folsom prison to the robbers, the crooks

^ATo 300 killers giving back dirty looks ^EIf there's a prison riot, you're gonna get the hook, ^Bso tonight, you better kick out the lights...

CHORUS BRIDGE

^DbmPlay,^A play on John. Johnny^E until the light g^Boes on ^DbmPlay,^A play on John. Johnny^E until the light g^Boes on

^ESo go on sing your little love songs about lying and leaving ^AYour mama's good cooking, how you can't break even

^EYour pick-up truck, how your girlfriend's cheating, it's a^Blright, if you like ^EOr you can sing a ring of fire, and how God cut you down

^AAbout cocaine, freight trains, Sunday morning coming down ^EHow you shot a man in Reno just to paint the town, ^Byou're damn right. You'd be kicking out the lights.
