Verse 1
G

It was
G
late September two years ago,
Am
G
Am
A
Frank Cash was down on his luck,
Am
G
Am
he made a kill in a Churchill dams,
G
Am
but dropped it all at Aqueduct,
G
Am
an d that left him somewhat
G
Am
G
Am
thunderstruck.
G
G
Am
down on Lonely Street,
he was looking for somewhere
G
Am
to hide.
Am
A
the door every day,
Am
G
and he'd go through the
Am
G
Am
classifiers.
G
Am
Then one morning he turned
G
Am
to the sports page,
and he noticed that something
G
Am
was strange.
G
The race results were from
but the football scores
G
Am
G
Am
were for next week's games.
G
Am
G
Frank felt scared and a little deranged
Am
G
But a switchboard lit up
Am
G
Am
in his brain
G
Am
G
That Sunday he watched in amazement
Am
As the scores flashed by
G
Am
on his TV set
G
Am
Monday morning he ran for the paper
He made it to the phone
G
Am
G
and began placing bets
G
Am
that night on the jets
G
Am
Ten grand he didn't
G
Am
G
Am
G
have on the jets
Am
Bm
A
It happened like that the whole season
Bm
He couldn't even count
all the money he made
A
He started buying Italian
Which he kept in a sprawling
A
Bm
A
estate on the lake
Bm
A
Bm
And by that I don't mean by the lake,
A
Bm
I mean on the lake.
A
Bm
He waited all summer for football to start,
B
Bm
the maid brought him the paper each day.
But all he could find was yes
A
Bm
terday's scores,
the damn paper had ceased to
A
Bm
A
Bm
prognosticate.
Then a look of horror crossed
B
Bm
A
his face.
Bm
B
Bm
A
It had finally dawned on him,
Bm
A
Bm
but too late
B
C#m
His rolls hit the
B

pavement at 120
Bm
C#m
Headed for Lonely Street
B
Frank pressed his luck against
C#m
A
the door screen
C#m
B
Frank asked if he still got the paper
B
C#m
what do you care?
Frank answered,
I need to see the sports section
Just for a minute,
B
C#m
A
and John Walker stared
C#m
Frank tried to push through
C#m
B
John pulled the reel 45
C#m
The dogs were all barking
C#m
B
John Walker was no longer
C#m
B
C#m
alive
D#m
The judge looks down
through his bifocals
Bbm
The peers of the jury
squirm in their seats.
D#m
The courtroom is silent
except for his footsteps.
Bbm
Frank Cash is about to speak.
G#
F
G#
D#m
Frank says, Your Honor

and ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
Bbm

all this has been happening to me
because of this guy named T

-Bone Burnett.
D#m
Bbm

D#
And I just want to say,
I don't believe in him.
In fact, I don't even think he exists.

And not only that,

but this song is over.

Frank got a suspended sentence,

They ignored his statement,

on the grounds it didn't make
Am
G

any sense.
