A5 G5 I woke up in a cold sweat, from a dream at 3am , D5 F5 I was driftin' on a sea of shadows; the rain was whippin' in the wind A5 C5 G5 D5 I saw a man dressed all in black, reach out and take the helm , F5 E5 A5 And he charted us a course, out into the spirit realm. A5 G5 I can taste the salt; feel the blisters on my hand D5 F5 As I'm pulling at the ores, rowing on to glory land, A5 C5 G5 D5 And sitting in the stern, singin' hymns and talkin' trash A5 G5 D5 F5 E5 A5 Is my broken guardian angel, the ghost of Johnny Cash. A5 G5 Well, Johnny's quoting from the bible, while I'm trying to steer this leaky craft, D5 F5 And his familiar voice reminds me that I'm man who's cut in half, A5 C5 G5 D5 His tarnished halo slips and shines, as the raging billows crash, A5 G5 D5 F5 E5 A5 And I'm riding out the deluge with the ghost of Johnny Cash Chorus: G5 Some sinners need their saints to be survivors of the fall, A5 G5 D5 E5 Cuz' when you're down here on your knees, most angels look to tall, A5 G5 D5 F5 So I'll just live this life out dust to dust and ash to ash, A5 G5 D5 F5 E5 A5 With my guide from the other side the ghost of Johnny Cash, Interlude: A5 , G5 , D5 , F5 , A5 A5 G5 You gotta' stand for something, cuz' when you're gone your gone D5 F5 The devil lost a lot of souls when Johnny put that black suit on, A5 C5 G5 D5 He's still flipping off the Pharacies and laughing at old scratch A5 G5 D5 F5 E5 A5 While he haunts the halls of heaven, the ghost of Johnny Cash Chorus: G5 Some sinners need their saints to be survivors of the fall, A5 G5 D5 E5 Cuz' when you're down here on your knees, most angels look to tall, A5 G5 D5 F5 So I'll just live this life out dust to dust and ash to ash, A5 G5 D5 F5 E5 A5 With my guide from the other side the ghost of Johnny Cash, A5 G5 D5 F5 Yeah, I'll just live this life out dust to dust and ash to ash A5 G5 D5 F5 E5 A5 Until I'm raisin' hell in heaven with the ghost of Johnny Cash
