A Thing Called Love
by Johnny Cash
Intro [C] [Bb] [F] [G]
Six foot [C] six he stood on the ground
He weighed two hundred and thirty-five pounds
But I saw that [Dm] giant of a man brought [G] down
To his knees by [C] love
He was the kind of [C] man that would gamble on luck
Look you in the eye and never back up
But I saw him [Dm] crying like a little whipped [G] pup
Because of [C] love
( Chorus
You can't see it with your [C] eyes, hold it in your [F] hands
But like the [Em] wind it covers our [Am] land
Strong enough to [F] rule the heart of any [Dm] man
This thing called [G] love
It can lift you [C] up never let you [F] down
Take your [Em] world and turn it [A7] around
Ever since [C] time nothing's ever been [G] found
That's stronger than [C] love )
Most men are like me, they struggle and doubt
They trouble their minds day in and day out
Too busy with livin' to worry about
A little word like love
But when I see a mother's tenderness
As she holds her young close to her breast
Then I thank god that the world's been blessed
With a thing called love
Chorus (repeating the line)
Ever since [C] time nothing's ever been [G] found
That's stronger than [C] love
Chorus X4-ever
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
