Johnny Cash (Highwaymen)
Album: The Road Goes On Forever
(10th Anniversary Edition) (2005)
(John R. Cash and John Carter Cash)
Orig.: A
D Bm
She stepped down from her carriage at 10 Vermillon Street
G A
I took off my roustabout and slung it to her feet
D Bm
We went into her parlor and she cooled me with her fan
G A D
But said I'll go no further with a fantasy makin' man
B E
I said I'd walk on Ponchatrain for what you have today
A D
Just to drink from your deep well and I'll be on my way
B E
She laughed and heaven filled the room said this I give to you
A D
This body's wisdom is the flesh, but here's a thing or two
G A G D
Death and hell are never full
G A D
And neither are the eyes of men
G A G D
Cats can fly from nine stories high
A G
And pigs can see the wind
D Bm
She let me make my pallet in the moonlight on the floor
G A
Just outside of paradise but right in hell's back door
D Bm
The image of her nibbled at the eye of my soul
G A D
My dreams were a hurricane and quite out of control
B E
Then her voice came through the storm it's more than flesh ideal
A D
And you will have to pay for any wisdom that you steal
B E
I awoke to tinted windows and lavender and red
A D
The first station of the cross is just above my head
B E
I awoke to gargoyles and a hard bench for my bed
A D
Jesus Christ and Pontias Pilate were just above my head
G A G D
Death and hell are never full
G A D
And neither are the eyes of men
G A G D
Cats can fly from nine stories high
A G D
And pigs can see the wind
