The Junkie and the Juicehead, Minus Me chords by Johnny Cash
Verse 1
G
I was a stumble bummin' down
C
the neon Music City sidewalks
D
With the Junkie and the Juicehead who
C
G
had problems of their own
Stuck with luck it kept me standin'
C
just a step away from starvin'
D
And the talent that I swore I'd show
C
G
before I'd go back home
Verse 2
C
Ninety days I looked the army makin'
neither love nor money
G
And my only set of clothes was
A
D
gettin' closer to the bone
G
And the Junkie placed an order
C
with the Prophet on the corner
D
And he told him of the soul that he'd
C
been sellin' for a song

Verse 3
C
He said my future was my fortune
G
but I let it slip away
D
Slowly smokin' myself broke on
G
eighty cigarettes a day
C
Findin' out that crime ain't all
G
there is that doesn't pay
C
And writin' words that no one's
D
gonna see but did you said it who said it
Verse 4
C
I can read my fortune in
G
the bottom of a glass
D
And I can see it's time for me
G
to make my last request
C
Won't you fill my grave with whiskey
G
when I'm laid away to rest
D
So the boys can say I drank
G
myself to dead
Well I drank the whole thing over
C
puttin' one and two together
D
And it added up to more of
C
G
what I didn't want to be
I ain't blamin' Music City but
C
it's only gonna see me
D
One more day and the wake up and
C
the time it takes to leave
G
Verse 5
C
'Cause I got a dirty picture of
what could have been my future
G
In a Prophet pushin' day dreams
A
D
on a corner for a fee
G
And the wino lookin' lonely
C
at a bottle gettin' empty
D
And a hungry lookin' junkie
C
G
huntin' tea in sympathy
Verse 6
C
And I bet that junkie's laughin' after
G
the life he threw away
D
Slowly smokin' himself broke on
G
eighty cigarettes a day
C
Pleadin' down the Prophet to
G
a price that he can pay
C
And writin' words that no one's gonna
D
C
see but did you said it who said it
Verse 7
Every empty bottle is my
G
private crystal ball
D
And starin' into the future findin'
G
nothin' there at all
C
Which is what I'll miss tomorrow
G
when the neon shadows fall
D
G
On the Junkie and the Juicehead minus me
