Johnny Cash - Boss Jack: guitar chords

F                   A#7
Pick a lotta cotton drag a long sack
C7                             F
Comin' cross the field well I see Boss Jack
F                           A#7
He's a-ridin' straddle of a single foot roan
          C7                     F
When you know that horse you'll leave him alone

     F7             A#7
That old roan's got green in his eyes
C7                      F      F7
Mean as the devil and twice as wise
F7                     A#7
Fire in his nose and a bow in his back
 C7                      F
Can't nobody ride him but Boss Jack

Chorus:
A#7             F7
c'mon children bend your back
C7                    F7
Work a little faster fill your sack
          A#7                F
Then you hitch up the wagon take it to the gin
C7
Finish pickin' before the winter sets in

Now here a while back when the crop was laid by
Remember who took us on a big fish fry?
Caught a heap of catfish, goggle-eye, and carp
Dashed and sang to the guitar and the harp

Well, someday old Boss Jack is going to set us all free
Gabriel's gonna blow for you and me
Angels going to bring that chariot from above
Flapping their wings like a turtle dove
