A
For two long years my head hurt bad
D
So a doctor checked me an he shook his head
E7
He said I'm sorry to tell you
A
But your body's outlived your brain
He said I know this doctor in New York, son
D
And he'll fix you right up with a brand new one
E7
So the head doctor met me
A
When I stepped down off of the train.
A
He said we had this bank robber killed last night
D
His body's shot but his brain's alright
E7
I'll give you a transplant, boy
A
And you'll be OK
I got my new brain in and I was feelin' great
D
I went right back to Nashville with no headache
E7
But something strange happened
A
When I walked in the bank one day.
D
I said stick 'em up ever'body I'm robbin' this place
A
Drop all of your money in my guitar case
D E7
Don't nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door
A
A lady said, why you're Johnny Cash
D
I said no ma'am, I'm the Manhattan Flash
E7 A
And I am the best bank robber in New York.
A
Now the other night Roy Acuff called me
D
He said John I'd like for you to do the Opry
E7 A
So I went out on the stage, but I couldn't sing
I got into a half a verse of 'I Walk The Line'
D
And something snapped in this head of mine
E7
I yelled stick 'em up -
A
Give me your money, your watches and rings.

Bb
Well, I called New York and talked to that brain quack
Eb
And said Doc I gotta have my old brain back
F7 Bb
He said I'm sorry there, Mr. Cash, but I can't do that
He said I put your brain in a chicken last monday
Eb
He's singing your songs and makin' lots of money
F7 Bb
And I got him signed to a ten-year recording con-tract.
Bb
Now friends if you see me walkin' down the street
Eb
Remember what you see ain't necessarily me
F7 Bb
And if I try to hold you up, don't pay me no mind
But when you got ten bucks that you can blow
Eb
You oughta catch that Johnny Chicken show
F7
He's doin' fairs and concert dates
Bb
All up and down the line.
Eb
I said stick 'em up ever'body I'm robbin' this place
Bb
Drop all of your money in my guitar case
Eb F7
Don't nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door
Bb
A lady said, why you're Johnny Cash
Eb
I said no ma'am, I'm the Manhattan Flash
F7 Bb
And I am the best bank robber in New York.
