Like A Soldier Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

With the twi[G]light colors falling
And the evening laying shadows

Hidden memories come stealing from my mi[D]nd
As I feel my own heart beating out
The simple joy of living

I wonder how I ever was that ki[G]nd

But the wild road I was rambling
Was always out there calling

And they said a hundred times I should have di[D7]ed
Then you reached down and touched me
And lifted me up with you

So, I believe they were roads that I was meant to ri[G]de

|
|I'm like a sol[C]dier getting [D]over the war [G]
|
|Like a you[C]ng man getting [D7]over his [G]crazy days
|
|Like a [C]bandit getting [D7]over his lawless [Em]ways
|
|[C]I don't have to [D7]do that any more [G]
|
|I'm like a sol[C]dier getting [D7]over the war[G]

There were nights I don't remember
And there's pain that I've forgotten
Other things I choose not to recall
There are faces that come to me
In my darkest secret memory
Faces that I wish would not come back at all
But in my dreams parade of lovers
From the other times and places
There's not one that matters now, no matter who
I'm just thankful for the journey
And that I've survived the battles
And that my spoils of victory are you

|
|I'm like a sol[C]dier getting [D]over the war [G]
|
|Like a you[C]ng man getting [D7]over his [G]crazy days
|
|Like a [C]bandit getting [D7]over his lawless [Em]ways
|
|[C]Every day gets [D7]better than before [G]
|
|I'm like a sol[C]dier getting [D7]over the war[G]
