[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][G][C][G][Bb]
[G][C][G][C][G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]I was j[G]ust a b[C]oy in s[G]chool 1[C]954[G]
I [C]heard Johnny singin' on my Sears radio
I wouldn't do my schoolwork then
nor join in schoolyard [G]games
[C]I'd sit there by the radio so
I [G]could hear him [C]sing
[G]Hey porter,

[Verse 2]
[C]
hey porter [G]would you tell [D]me the [C]time[G][C]
I want to get on board John
I want to ride your train
I don't care where you're goin'
long as [G]it ain't [D]where I [G]been
There ain't [C]nothin' in this little
town that a boy like me can do
So if you're [F]goin' to Folsom
Prison [C]I w[G]ant to go there t[C]oo[G]
[C]I shot

[Verse 3]
[G]a man in Ren[F]o
just [G]to watch him die
[C]

[Verse 4]
I tried to learn the guitar blues
to ease my troubled mind
But Johnny kept a movin'
an[G]d I kept wastin' time
[D]He [C]was somewhere down Big
[G]River but [C]all that I could [F]see
Was west Pico [C]Boulevard and
[G]that's what tortured me
[C]

[Verse 5]
And I [G]followed you Big River when you [C]called

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][C][G]
[C][F][C][G]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 6]
[C]Johnny Cash will never die
buddy can't you see
He's up there with the Tennessee
Two for all eternity
But sometimes in the dark of night
his voice still calls to [F]me
Hey porter hey [C]porter was
[G]what I heard him [C]say
On my Sears and Roebuck ra[G]dio

[Outro 1]
Pasadena KXLA.
