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:
