Artist/Band: Jennings Waylon Tabs
Song: Aint No Good Chain Gang Tab
THERE AIN'T NO GOOD CHAIN GANG - Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash
Transcribed by Casey Newbold - Kerr (waylon@ihug.com.au)
You'll find this song on Johnny Cash's 'I'd Like To See You Again' CD. It's
also on a few compilation CDs of his, but no Waylon CDs as far as I know.
CAPO ON FIRST FRET
Verse One (Waylon):
A
I'll bet it ain't a-rainin' back home
I bet your sister's still on the phone
D A E
I bet mama's in the kitchen, cooking fried chicken
B7 E A
Wishing that I hadn't done wrong
Verse Two (Johnny - Spoken):
A
Don't you worry about us none now, mama
Everything's gonna be all right, mama
They're teaching us a lot of new things in here, mama
Things like...
Chorus (Johnny with Waylon as harmony/background singer):
A
There ain't no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain't cut out to be no Jesse James
D A E
And you don't go writin' hot cheques, down in Mississippi
B7 E A
And there ain't no good chain gang
Instrumental - Waylon on guitar. See bottom of document...
Verse Three (Waylon):
Papa's readin' yesterday's mail
Wishin' that the hay was all bailed
I'll bet he's a-wishin' he could go fishin'
And here I am a-laying in jail
Verse Four (Jonnhy - Spoken):
Don't you worry about us now, Papa
They're teaching us a lesson a day, we're learning pretty well, too
We've already learned a whole lot of stuff already
Things like...
Chorus x2
Waylon guitar part (similar to first)
Chorus x2 - Fade out half way through second one
NOTES:
Waylon's guitar parts are kinda based around 0h2 on the fourth string. Then it
moves down two, then another two, or something like that. It's kinda hard to
explain. But if you know the 'T For Texas' one, this is very similar. Enjoy
this damn cool song!
