--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Johnny Yuma Theme - Johnny Cash --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Johnny Cash Johnny Yuma Theme (1959) (Cash) Now on: "My Rifle, My Pony and Me - Movie and TV Soundtracks" (Bear Family BCD 15 625 AH) A fine tune by Johnny Cash featuring the trademark key shifts already used in Ring of Fire. It is not "The Rebel - Johnny Yuma", the theme song from the TV series penned by Richard Markowitz and Andrew Fenady, but a different song. I'm not sure about the title: Whereas the cover has the title "The Rebel Johnny Yuma" (which can't be correct as this is another song), the booklet has "Johnny Yuma Theme" along with detailed production credits. That's why I rather trust the booklet. The song is in B; I usually use a capo 1st fret and play in A. The intro is tabbed without capo, though.

AHe came in like a restless wind Yuma is the name
He'll be going like the July snow Following the sun, man Better watch his gun, man
EHe's gonna be a rebel Til the Wild West is Atamed C
CJohnny's slow and easy going Like a tumbleweed
Had to kill in Albuquerque But justice is his creed From Texas to the Black Hills
Come and Gwatch for Johnny Yuma For the wrong will not sucCceed A
AYou may find him bedded with The buffalo at night
Had a gal in Jackson Town That begged him not to fight but Ardent soul is in a rut
To Ehelp to calm a stormy land And make a few wrongs Aright C
CIf you perk the innocent Keep your back from the door
Sleep with one eye open Keep a loaded .44, man Better watch that right hand
GJohnny Yuma's got his quick When trouble's at the Cfore (Afade out)
