Johnson Family The Devil Makes Three
This is a fantastically dark song. It has the feel of an evil circus. If there is a
hell, they play this song in hell and the people of hell enjoy it.
To create the waltzy quality, alternate the bass note with the note on the same fret a
string below. For the Em in the verse, use the fifth string bar chord on the seventh fret.
[Bm]Born to a good father[Em] I have no excuse
[F#]I could say I blame someone but wha[Bm]t would be the use
[Bm]When I learn to travel now is w[Em]hen I learn to steal
To rid[F#]e without a ticket now a[Bm]long the lin[F#]es of steel[Bm]
[E]Oh you don't know the thin[A]gs I have seen
[D]Twenty years out [D7]on the road with the J[G]ohnson Family[F#]
[E]Oh you don't know the ca[A]ges I have seen
[D]Twenty years in[D7] and out of the [G]Johnson Family[F#]
I'd harnessed stones and took them to the fence
I found my heart by moved the shop and always made the rent
When I met old George now he showed me to the box
Fresh out the night oh from the day now the money never stops
Oh you can't know the cages I have seen
In and out over the years of the Johnson Family
Oh you can't know the troubles I have seen
Twenty years out on the road with the Johnson Family
Call me a thief and a liar now you know you would be right
Straight as an arrow I sit here tonight
All my debts too heavy boys I cannot pay them down
I pawn my watch and take a walk down to the sea to drown
Oh you can't know the things I have seen
Twenty years out on the road with the Johnson Family
Oh you can't know the cages I have seen
Twenty years out on the road with the Johnson Family
