Nickajack Cave

[Verse]
E
Little white pills and whiskey
E
Honky tonks and smoke
E
One night stands with his country 
band
          E
Had him strung out on the ropes
          A
Well he cried out to Jesus
         A                         
He said Jesus I think I'm too lost 
       E
to save
      D              A            
He already had one foot inside his
   E
 grave
        D               A     
As he stepped into the mouth of 
              E
Nickajack Cave

[Verse]
E
Everything was darkness
E
Wasn't no light at all
          E
Just the cold dank air and the pitch
 black dirt
         E
And he spiders on the walls
         A
Well he laid down beneath a ledge

     A                         
And curled up there to meet his 
             E
judgement day
      D              A            
The shivering came upon him wave 
    E
by wave
               D                
Well he could feel the breath of 
   A                  E
death in Nickajack Cave

[Refrain]
      A
Then high above him shone a light
A
  He never would forget
        D
Then he heard a voice say Johnny 
Cash
          D
I ain't thru with you yet
                 E
Get up I ain't thru with you yet
E
I ain't thru with you yet Johnny 
Cash, get up

[Verse]
          E
Then he crawled out from beneath 
that ledge
E
  And felt a gentle breeze
E
Tears and dirt smeared on his face
     E
As peaceful as could be
          A
Well he knelt down upon the ground
A                                 
Raised his eyes up to the light 
     E
and prayed
         D                 A      
He said Lord I'll be your servant 
            E
from this day
                 D             
That's how he became the Man In 
    A                 E
Black in Nickajack Cave
                 D             
That's how he became the Man In 
    A                 E
Black in Nickajack Cave
