Country Trash
Johnny Cash
Album: Solitary Man
Transcribed by Kelly Coull

Capo 2nd fret to play with recording

{E}I got a crib full of corn, and a {A}turnin’ plow
But the {B7}grounds to wet for the {E}hopper now.
Got a cultivator and a {A}double tree
A {B7}leather line for the {E}hull and gee
Let the thunder roll and the {A}lighting flash
I’m {B7}doing alright for {E}Country Trash

I’m saving up dimes for a {A}rainy day
I {B7}got about a dollar {E}laid away
The winds from the south and the {A}fishings good
Got a {B7}pot bell stove a {E}quart of wood
Mama turns the left-overs {A}into ash
I’m {B7}doing alright for {E}Country Trash

I got a machina and a {A}hunting dog
A {B7}cap I ordered from the {E}catolog
A good tall tree that {A}shades the yard
A {B7}good fat sow for the {E}winters lard
Let the thunder roll and the {A}lighting flash
I’m {B7}doing alright for {E}Country Trash

Well there’s not much new ground {A}left to plow
And the {B7}crops need ferti-{E}-lizer now
My hands don’t earn me {A}too much gold
For secu-{B7}-rity when I {E}grow old
But we’ll all be equal {A}under the grass
And {B7}God’s got a heaven for {E}Country Trash
And {B7}God’s got a heaven for {E}Country Trash
I’ll be {B7}doing alright for {E}Country Trash
