Johnny Cash - Lost On The Desert
Capo: 1 Fret
F C F G
A burnin' hot sun a cryin' for water black wings circle the sky
C F C F C G C
Stumblin' and fallin' somebody's callin' you're lost on the desert to die
C F C F G
I had to give up and they took me to jail but I hid all the money I got
F C F G C
Way out on the desert where no one could get it and I left a mark at the spot
F C F G
Then I got away and I ran for the desert the devil had taken control
C F C F C G C
I needed water but he said I'd make it near the money is a big waterhole
F C F G
A burnin' hot sun a cryin' for water black wings circle the sky
C F C F C G C
Stumblin' and fallin' somebody's callin' you're lost on the desert to die
GUITAR SOLO
C F C F G
Just up ahead is where I left my mark or it may be to the left or the right
F C F G
I've been runnin' all day and they'll catch up tomorrow I've got to find it
C
tonight
F C F
Then up jumped the devil and ran away laughin' he drank all the waterholes
G
dry
C F C F C G C
He moved my mark till I'm running in circles and lost on the desert to die
F C F G
A burnin' hot sun a cryin' for water black wings circle the sky
C F C F C G C
Stumblin' and fallin' somebody's callin' you're lost on the desert to die
C G C G C
(Fade out)
Lost on the desert to die, lost on the desert to die
