Johnny Cash - Roughneck: chords

Chorus:
 A
Born to be a roughneck
      E
I'll never amount to nothing
                                 B7   E
Pulling case and laying pipe is hard labor

     E
Well I was born in a boomer shack
About a half a mile from town
Papa was driller on a wildcat crew
     F#              B7
And mama never was around

E
I learned to cuss when I was two
And fight when I was three
And by the time
I was five there was no kid alive
            B7              E
Could ever get the best of me

Chorus

Well, I started working like a regular man
When I was just about knee high
Skinning the knuckles with my two bare hands
But they never heard me cry
I remember walking down the road
And hearing somebody say
He was born to live a rougneck's life
And he's never going to change his ways
