This is a fantastically dark song. It has the feel of an evil circus. If there is a hell, they play this song in hell and the people of hell enjoy it. To create the waltzy quality, alternate the bass note with the note on the same fret a string below. For the Em in the verse, use the fifth string bar chord on the seventh fret.

I'd harnessed stones and took them to the fence I found my heart by moved the shop and always made the rent When I met old George now he showed me to the box Fresh out the night oh from the day now the money never stops Oh you can't know the cages I have seen In and out over the years of the Johnson Family Oh you can't know the troubles I have seen Twenty years out on the road with the Johnson Family Call me a thief and a liar now you know you would be right Straight as an arrow I sit here tonight All my debts too heavy boys I cannot pay them down I pawn my watch and take a walk down to the sea to drown Oh you can't know the things I have seen Twenty years out on the road with the Johnson Family Oh you can't know the cages I have seen Twenty years out on the road with the Johnson Family
