Johnny Cash - There Ain't No Good Chain Gang: chords

A#
Bet it ain't raining back home,
A#
Bet you sister's still on the phone,
    D#                     A#              G
Bet momma's in the kitchen cooking fried chicken,
D#              F           A#
Wishing that I hadn't done wrong

A#
Momma, don't you worry about it none though,
Everything's gonna be alright, momma,
They're teaching us a lot of new things in here, momma,

Chorus:
A#
Things like there ain't no good in an evil hearted woman,
A#
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James,
A#       D#                          A#            G
And you don't go writing hot checks down in Mississippi,
           D#   C# A#    G#   A#
And there ain't no good chain gang.

Papa's reading yesterday's mail
Wishing that the hay was all baled
I bet he's wishing we could go fishing
And here I am laying in jail

A#
Well, papa, don't you worry about it none,
Now, everything's gonna be alright, papa,
They're teaching us a lesson today,
We're learning pretty well too,
We've already learned a whole lot of stuff already

Chorus:
There is no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I'm not cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there is no good chain gang

There is no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I'm not cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there is no good chain gang

There is no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I'm not cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there is no good chain gang

There is no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I'm not cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don't go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there is no good chain gang
