If You Could Read My Mind Album: American V: A Hundred Highways Artist: Johnny Cash Intro E (Verse 1) E If you could read my mind, love Dadd9 What a tale my thoughts could tell E Just like an old time movie Dadd9 'bout a ghost from a wishing-well E A In a castle dark or a fortress strong B C#m With chains upon my feet A E You know that ghost is me A C#m And I will never be set free Fm A E As long as I'm a ghost you can't see (Verse 2) E If I could read your mind, love Dadd9 What a tale your thoughts could tell E Just like a paperback novel Dadd9 The kind that drugstores sell E A When you reach the part where the heartaches come B C#m The hero would be me A E And heroes often fail A C#m And you won't read that book again Fm B E Because the ending's just too hard to take (Middle section) E Dadd9 E Dadd9 [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/j/johnny-cash/146855.html ] E A I'd walk away like a movie star B C#m Who gets burned in a three way script A E And enter number two A C#m A movie queen to play the scene Fm B A Of bringing all the good things out in me E But for now, love, let's be real A C#m I never thought I could act this way Fm B And I've got to say that I just don't get it A C#m I don't know where we went wrong Fm But the feeling's gone B E And I just can't get it back E Dadd9 E Dadd9 (Verse 3...) E If you could read my mind, love, Dadd9 What a tale my thoughts could tell E Just like an old time movie Dadd9 'bout a ghost from a wishing-well E A In a castle dark or a fortress strong B C#m With chains upon my feet A E The story always ends A C#m And if you read between the lines Fm B C#m You’ll know that I’m just trying to understand A E The feeling that you lack A C#m I never thought I could feel this way Fm B And I've got to say that I just don't get it A C#m I don't know where we went wrong Fm But the feeling's gone B And I just can't get it back E Dadd9 end on E |
