Intro 
E A  E 

 
          E                                 A 
In the graveyard where they buried Johnny Cash 
                                             E 
There's a tourist who is screaming at her kids 
          A                  E 
Wearing leather shorts and boots 
                              C#m 
The way she thinks the locals do 
             A                              E 
All dressed up for taking pictures with the dead 
 

 
           E                                 A 
In the graveyard where they buried Johnny Cash 
                                     E 
There's a woman who is visiting her son 
          A               E 
Getting on her knees to pray 
                          C#m 
And laying flowers on his grave 
        A                               E 
Every monday morning since he has been gone 
 

 
   A              E 
And one of these days 
              C#m 
One of these days 
A     E                  
This tourist too shall pass 
        A 
But for now 
                E 
Both of those graves 
                C#m 
Both of those graves 
              A                                 E 
Are in the graveyard where they buried Johnny Cash

           E                         A 
In the Catholic church on Belmont Boulevard 
                            E 
I can usually be quiet and alone 
               A                  E 
Till someone comes to sweep the floors 
                          C#m 
Beneath the statue of the Lord 
          A                                    E 
And I pretend like I don't mind it when they come 
 

 
          E                          A 
In the Catholic church on Belmont Boulevard 
                                   E 
The janitor lights candles in the front 
         A              E 
As if heaven might be close to him 
                C#m 
As if I'm a ghost 
          A                           E 
Looking down upon a kingdom as it comes 
 

 
   A                  E 
Oh, and one of these days 
             C#m 
One of these days 
A       E               
We'll both let down our guard 
         A 
But for now 
                E 
Ain't that the way 
              C#m 
Sinners and saints 
           A                                E 
In the Catholic church on Belmont Boulevard

          E                                 A 
In the graveyard where they buried Johnny Cash 
                                           E 
And the Catholic church on Belmont Boulevard 
          A               E 
On the corner of each street 
                     C#m 
And every channel on TV 
         A                             E 
In the backroom haze of every broadway bar 
 

 
            E                                A 
There are people who are doing what they want 
                                      E 
And the people who are doing all they can 
              A             E 
And all the people in between 
                         C#m 
Who disappear and disagree 
             A                                  E 
And all the ones like me who just don't understand 
 

 
    A               E 
Oh, one of these days 
             C#m 
One of these days 
A      E              
Thess places too shall pass 
         A 
But for now 
          E 
Isn't it grace 
           C#m 
Going both ways 
         A                               C#m 
In the graveyard where they buried Johnny Cash
