Kick Out The Lights Johnny Cash

This song Ellis plays live and is not yet on an album. Standard blues shuffle. There are multiple video versions on YouTube. He plays it in either C# with an open tuning, or in E (C# open tuning with fret). Chords are just bar chords for I, IV, V. Apologies in advance for the lyrics at the bridge. There are just a few lines that are tough to understand from the vids. All other lyrics should be accurate. C# open tuning C# G# C# F G# C# Capo: 3rd fret to play in E LYRICS E Now, Johnny Cash, the man in black, was at the Grand Ole Opry A Drunk with ambition, whiskey and coffee E B He was dancing with demons. Nothing could stop him tonight, tonight E It felt like a church, he said a little prayer A Ran to the stage taking two and three stairs E B You can heckle old Johnny, hell he wouldn't care 'cause tonight, He's gonna kick out the lights. Chorus: E Kick out the lights, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash A Kick out the lights, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash E Kick out the lights, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash B Kick out the lights E Now you can play a big theater to chandeliers and pearls A Rage inside a stadium to rows of pretty girls E B Take your fancy jet, tour around the world, if you like, it's alright E Or you can play Folsom prison to the robbers, the crooks A To 300 killers giving back dirty looks E B If there's a prison riot, you're gonna get the hook, so tonight, you better kick out the lights... Chorus BRIDGE Dbm A E B Play, play on John. Johnny until the light goes on Dbm A E B Play, play on John. Johnny until the light goes on E So go on sing your little love songs about lying and leaving A Your mama's good cooking, how you can't break even E B Your pick-up truck, how your girlfriend's cheating, it's alright, if you like E Or you can sing a ring of fire, and how God cut you down A About cocaine, freight trains, Sunday morning coming down E B How you shot a man in Reno just to paint the town, you're damn right. You'd be kicking out the lights. Chorus
