Johnny Cash - In Your Mind

key of F# – – capo @2 to play along with recording

E

E B7
in your mind in your mind
E A F#
one foot on jacob’s laddEr and one foot in the fire
A B7
and it all goes down in your E mind
E
livin’ at the bottom of the stairs of life
A
never a smile knockin’ on your door
B7
the air is blue and so are you
E
prehistoric monsters on the floor

last verse of your last song

and god don’t hear dead men

the end of the line is in your mind

then you’ll be stayin’ in

in your mind in your mind

bone for bone and skin for skin

eye for eye and tooth for tooth

heart for heart and soul for soul

somebody said “what is truth”?

lock it up and close it down

the sound of mournin’ like a dove

high beyond the rattlin’ roar

lookin’ to the face of love
E
{chorus : } in your mind in your mind
B7
it all goes down in your mind
E A F#
one foot on jacob’s laddEr and one foot in the fire
A B7
and it all goes down in your mind

in your mind in your mind

sunday words are back again
and you eat your fundamentalist pie
but just a piece you understand
you get the rest up in the sky

praise and glory , wounded angels
shufflin’ ’round the room
eternity is down the hall
and you sit there bendin’ spoons

in your mind in your mind

father , son , and holy ghost
sacrificial drops of pain
on a silver plated cross
sanctification on a chain

thay say redemption draweth nigh
the storms of silence from above
stop your ears and close your eyes
and try to find the face of love

{repeat chorus twice}
