[A] For two long years my head hurt bad
So a [D] doctor checked me an he shook his head
He said [E7] I'm sorry to tell you
But your body's outlived your [A] brain
He said I know this doctor in New York, son
And he'll [D] fix you right up with a brand new one
So the [E7] head doctor met me
When I stepped down off of the [A] train.
[A] He said we had this bank robber killed last night
His [D] body's shot but his brain's alright
I'll [E7] give you a transplant, boy
And you'll be [A] OK
I got my new brain in and I was feelin' great
I went [D] right back to Nashville with no headache
But something [E7] strange happened
When I walked in the bank one [A] day.
I said [D] stick 'em up ever'body I'm robbin' this place
Drop [A] all of your money in my guitar case
Don't [D] nobody move and don't nobody reach for that [E7] door
A [A] lady said, why you're Johnny Cash
I said [D] no ma'am, I'm the Manhattan Flash
And I [E7] am the best bank robber in New [A] York.
[A] Now the other night Roy Acuff called me
He said [D] John I'd like for you to do the Opry
So I [E7] went out on the stage, but I couldn't [A] sing
I got into a half a verse of 'I Walk The Line'
And [D] something snapped in this head of mine
I yelled [E7] stick 'em up -
Give me your money, your watches and [A] rings.

[Bb] [Eb] [F7]
[Bb] Well, I called New York and talked to that brain quack
And said [Eb] Doc I gotta have my old brain back
He said I'm [F7] sorry there, Mr. Cash, but I can't do [Bb] that
He said I put your brain in a chicken last monday
He's [Eb] singing your songs and makin' lots of money
And I got him [F7] signed to a ten-year recording con-[Bb] tract.
[Bb] Now friends if you see me walkin' down the street
Remember [Eb] what you see ain't necessarily me
And if I [F7] try to hold you up, don't pay me no [Bb] mind
But when you got ten bucks that you can blow
You oughta [Eb] catch that Johnny Chicken show
He's doin' [F7] fairs and concert dates
All up and down the [Bb] line.
I said [Eb] stick 'em up ever'body I'm robbin' this place
Drop [Bb] all of your money in my guitar case
Don't [Eb] nobody move and don't nobody reach for that [F7] door
A [Bb] lady said, why you're Johnny Cash
I said [Eb] no ma'am, I'm the Manhattan Flash
And I [F7] am the best bank robber in New [Bb] York.
TALK:
Well, I don't pay any income tax...
You don't pay tax on money you steal...
You oughta catch that Johnny Chicken show...
Chicken In Black! hmmmmmmmm!
