Johnny Cash - Leave That Junk Alone (Alabama 3 Remix) ------------------------------ Key of F, ear-transcribed on ukulele by Neil Killer. ------------------------------ This was tabbed from Alabama 3's remix of "Leave That Junk Alone", which includes elements of Johnny's original recording and Alabama 3's added verses. From the highly controversial 2009 album, Johnny Cash Remixed. ------------------------------ Alabama 3's lyrics were difficult to transcribe, but I got them all, save for one word! ------------------------------ CHORUS:

^FLeave that junk alone ^FLeave that junk alone ^A#Leave that junk alone And drink^C cool H2^FO

VERSE 1:

Well, ^Fme and a couple of good ol' boys Took a^F taxi ride downtown Were ^A#checking out a honkytonks Waiting for the ^Cman to come arou^Fnd

^FLined up ten tequilas Lined up a ^Ftwenty chase of beer Put the ^A#(glata???) on the barmaid Said, "Don't^C you ever come bac^Fk in here!"

CHORUS: Johnny said,

Drink ^Fwater, Lord, that liquor is hot, drink ^Fwater Please Johnny, just a one more shot Drink ^A#water, Lord, that liquor is hot, drink ^Cwater Somebody took the ^Fbottle top off

VERSE 2:

We would^F shoot a bitch our stares Acutely aw^Fare of the state we was in Met a ^A#nun called Mary in a strip joint Said she'd ^Cguide us through the city of ^Fsin

Bought a ^Fthousand Marlboro Reds We got a^F quart of Bombay gin ^A#Looking for salvation in some ^Cout-of-town Comfort ^FInn

Then ^FJohnny busted down the door King James ^FBible in his hand ^A#Eyes burning with a rapture He'd seen the ^Cangels in the Promised ^FLand

Well, I could ^Fhear that train a-comin', Lord My ^Fmind was going 'round the bend The ^A#good ol' boys put the bottle top on the floor They'd ^Cnever touch a drop ag^Fain

BRIDGE: Johnny said,

Your ^Feyes are baggy and a bloodshot red It's been a ^Fweek or two since you've been in bed You better ^A#pay attention now to what I said You better ^Cleave that junk al^Fone and drink water

You ^Fcome home feeling for the knob on the door You better ^Fpick up your feet, you're gonna fall on the floor I ^A#keep on telling you, I'll tell you some more You better ^Cleave that junk al^Fone and drink water

Now ^FI'll forgive you for your running around If ^Fyou just promise that you'll come unwound I'll ^A#buy you anything you want in town If you'll ^Cleave that junk al^Fone

CHORUS:

^FLeave that junk alone (and drink water) ^FLeave that junk alone ^A#Leave that junk alone (and drink water) And drink^C cool H2^FO

^FLeave that junk alone (and drink water) ^FLeave that junk alone ^A#Leave that junk alone (and drink water) And drink^C cool ^CH... 2^FO
