The Reverend Mr. Black / Lonesome Valley (Medley)
From the album "The Baron" (1981) by Johnny Cash
Intro
N.C.
He rode easy in the saddle, he was tall and lean
N.C.
And at first you'd a thought nothing but a streak of mean
N.C.
Could make a man look so down right strong
N.C.
But one look in his eyes and you knowed you was wrong
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]C[/ch
He was a mountain of a man and I want you to know
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
He could preach hot hell or freezin' snow
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
He carried a Bible in a canvas sack
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And everybody called him The Reverend Mr. Black
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
He was poor as a beggar but he rode like a king
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Sometimes in the evening, I can hear him sing
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I gotta walk that lonesome valley
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I gotta walk it by myself
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
There ain't nobody here can walk it for me
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I gotta walk it by myself
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]C[/ch
If ever I could have thought this man in black
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Was soft and had any yellow up his back
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I gave that notion up the very day
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
A lumberjack came in and it wasn't to pray
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]C[/ch
He kicked open the meeting house door
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And he cussed everybody up and down the floor
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Then, when things got quiet all over the place
ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
He walked up and cusses in the preacher's face
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch
He hit that reverend like a kick of a mule
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And to my way of thinkin' it took a real fool
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
To turn the other cheek to that lumberjack
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
But that's what he did, The Reverend Mr. Black
Verse 5→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch
He stood like a rock, a man among men
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And then he let that lumberjack hit him again
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And then with a voice as kind as could be
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
He cut him down like a big oak tree, when he said
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
You gotta walk that lonesome valley
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
You gotta walk it by yourself
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
There ain't nobody here can walk it for you
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
You gotta walk it by yourself
Verse 6→ Phiên khúc
ch]D[/ch
Well, it's been many years since we had to part
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And I guess I learned all his ways by heart
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Just I can still hear his sermon's ring
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Down in the valley where he used to sing
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
You gotta walk that lonesome valley
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
You gotta walk it by yourself
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
There ain't nobody here can walk it for you
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
You gotta walk it by yourself
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
You gotta walk that lonesome valley
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch
You gotta walk it by yourself
ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
There ain't nobody here can walk it for you
ch]D[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
You gotta walk it by yourself
