Johnny Cash, Get Rhythm (1956)
^{Key: :[E] (w: Johnny Cash)}

CHORUS 1:
[E] Hey get a rhythm, when you get the blues,
Come on, get [A] 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 [A] rhythm, when [B7] you get the [E] blues

VERSE 1:
[E] A little shoe-shine 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,
He popped a shoeshine rag and then he said

CHORUS 2:
[E] Hey get a rhythm, when you get the blues,
Come on, get [A] 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 [A] rhythm, when [B7] you get the [E] blues

INSTRUMENTAL:

CHORUS 3:
[E] Hey get a rhythm, when you get the blues,
Come on, get [A] 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 [A] rhythm, when [B7] you get the [E] blues

VERSE 3:
[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

CHORUS 4:
[E] Hey get a rhythm, when you get the blues,
Come on, get [A] a rhythm, when you get the [E] blues
It only costs a dime, just a nickle a shoe,
It does a million dollars worth of good for you
Get [A] rhythm, when [B7] you get the [E] blues
