GET RHYTHM
by Johnny Cash

[E] Hey GET RHYTHM when you get the blues
Hey get [A] rhythm when you get the [E] blues
Yes a jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
it'll shake all the trouble from your worried mind
Get [A] rhythm when [B7] you get the [E] blues

[E]
Little shoeshine boy never gets low down
but he's got the dirtiest job in town
bendin' low at the peoples' feet
on the windy corner of the dirty street
well I asked him while he shined my shoes
how'd he keep from gettin' the blues
he grinned as he raised his little head
popped a shoeshine rag and then he said

[E]GET RHYTHM when you get the blues
Hey get [A] rhythm when you get the [E] blues
it only costs a dime just a nickel a shoe
does a million dollars worth of good for you
Get [A] rhythm when [B7] you get the [E] blues

[E]
Well I sat down to listen to the shoeshine boy
and I thought I was gonna jump for joy
slapped on the shoe polish left and right
he took a shoeshine rag and he held it tight
he stopped once to wipe the sweat away
I said you're a mighty little boy to be-a workin' that way
he said I like it with a big wide grin
kept on a poppin' and he said again

[E]GET RHYTHM when you get the blues
Hey get [A] rhythm when you get the [E] blues
get a rock n roll feelin' in your bones
get taps on your toes and get gone
Get [A] rhythm when [B7] you get the [E] blues
