Johnny Cash - Michigan City Howdy Do: chords

D
Well Johnson Van Dyke Grigsby was paroled in '89
    G                                            D
He never walked on a carpet never tasted dinner wine
         A                             G
His old eyes were slowly fadin' as he walked out of the gate
         D                                            A     D
And he breathed the first free air he'd breathed since 19-0-8

Chorus:
       G
Howdy do Michigan City you're sure pretty sight
        D
But I know there's bigger cities and more excitin' nights
        G
But I think your girls're pretty and I love your children too
          D
Michigan City Indiana howdy do Michigan City Indiana howdy do
          A                  D
Michigan City Indiana howdy do

Filled with the joy of freedom he didn't know that he was old
Because time don't really matter when it's bubbling in your soul
Well I don't think he was bitter because he sure had a smile
And down the streets of Michigan city he walked his first free miles

Chorus
