Understand Your Man
By Johnny Cash
C Am
Don’t call my name out your window, I’m leaving
F G
I won’t even turn my head
C Am
Don’t send your kin folks to give me no talkin’
D G
I’ll be gone like I said
C C7
You’d say the same old things that you’ve been saying all along
F
Lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut ‘til I’m gone
C Am
Don’t give me that old familiar cryin’ cussin’ moan,
F G C Am
Understand your man (I’m tired of your badmouthin’)
F G C
Understand your man.
You can give my other suits to the Salvation Army
And everything else I leave behind.
I ain’t takin’ nothing that’ll slow down my travelin’
While I’m untanglin’ my mind.
I ain’t gonna repeat what I said anymore
While I’m breathin’ air that ain’t been breathed before
I’ll be as gone as a wild goose in winter
Then you’ll understand your man (meditate on it)
Understand your man (you hear me talkin’)
Understand your man (remember what I told ya)

Can anyone post the intro and solo with the slide guitar? -doomsdayrobert | 4/20/2004 | This is one of the few songs that has a steel guitar or trumpets, let alone both. In what world is this the best -DB13 | 9/4/2005 | Well, it's just cool to have a slide guitar, and trumpets in the same song. It's unique. I love the lyrics in this song. It's one of those "Kiss my a$$ goodbye, I'm leavin'" songs. It's right cool. -macg1 | 12/13/2005 | it seems like a capo sould be placed on the first fret anyone agree? -Georgejones12 | 5/19/2008 | Depends on what version you are listening to. I am sure there are versions, as Cash re-recorded the song, that may have a capo or lack of one but based upon the recording I was tabbing from, this didn't require a capo. -lmofle | 5/19/2008 |
