Doin' My Time chords by Johnny Cash


Guitar soloCountry
Easy Version
                 F#  
On this old rock pile
                 F#  
With a ball and chain
                  F#    
They call me by a number
      F#             
Not a name Lord, Lord
B                                F#  
Gotta do my time,  I gotta do my time
               C#7                   F#  
With an achin' heart  on that gal of mine

                                        F# 
You can hear my hammer, you can hear my saw
      F#                      
Gonna swing it like John Henry
                   F#  
All day long Lord, Lord
B                               F#  
Gotta do my time, I gotta do my time
               C#7                    F#  
With an achin' heart   on that gal of mine

When that old judge   looked down at me

Well now it won't be long
                F#  
Just a few more days
                      F#  
They'll let me out of here
           F#            
I'm gonna stay Lord, Lord
B                    
With that gal of mine
                 F#  
With that gal of mine
                 C#7
She's waited for me 
                   F#  
While I've done my time

Ending:
