When I Take My Vacation In Heaven
Recorded by Johnny Cash
Written by Herbert Buffum and R.E. Winsett
3/4 time 
C 
There are those who are taking vacations
 
To the  
F 
mountains the lakes and the  
C 
sea
Where they rest from their cares and their troubles
 
What a  
D7 
wonderful time that must  
G7 
be
 
But it  
C 
seems not my  
G7 
lot to be like  
C 
them
 
I must  
F 
toil through the heat and the  
C 
cold
Seeking out the lost sheep on a mountain
 
Bringing  
D7 
wanderers 
 
 
G7 
back to the  
C 
fold
But when I take my vacation in heaven
 
What a  
F 
wonderful time that will  
C 
be
Hearing concerts by the heavenly chorus
 
And the  
D7 
face of my Savior I'll  
G7 
see
 
Sitting  
C 
down on the  
G7 
banks of the  
C 
river
 
Neath the  
F 
shade of the evergreen  
C 
tree
There I'll rest from my burdens forever
 
Won't you  
D7 
take your  
G7 
vacation with  
C 
me
Repeat #4

Who is Johnny Cash?
- John R. Cash (born J. R. Cash February 26, 1932 - September 12, 2003) was an American singer, songwriter, musician, and actor. Much of Cash's music contained themes of sorrow, moral tribulation, and redemption, especially in the later stages of his career. He was known for his deep, calm bass-baritone voice, the distinctive sound of his Tennessee Three backing band characterized by train-like chugging guitar rhythms, a rebelliousness coupled with an increasingly somber and humble demeanor, free prison concerts, and a trademark all-black stage wardrobe which earned him the nickname "The Man in Black".Born to poor cotton farmers in Kingsland, Arkansas, Cash rose to fame in the burgeoning rockabilly scene in Memphis, Tennessee, after four years in the Air Force. He traditionally began his concerts by simply introducing himself, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash", followed by "Folsom Prison Blues", one of his signature songs. Alongside "Folsom Prison Blues", his other signature songs include "I Walk the Line", "Ring of Fire", "Get Rhythm", and "Man in Black". He also recorded humorous numbers like "One Piece at a Time" and "A Boy Named Sue", a duet with his future wife June called "Jackson" (followed by many further duets after their wedding), and railroad songs such as "Hey, Porter", "Orange Blossom Special", and "Rock Island Line". During the last stage of his career, he covered songs by contemporary rock artists of the time his most notable covers were "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails, "Rusty Cage" by Soundgarden and, "Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode.
Cash is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 90 million records worldwide. His genre-spanning music embraced country, rock and roll, rockabilly, blues, folk, and gospel sounds. This crossover appeal earned him the rare honor of being inducted into the Country Music, Rock and Roll, and Gospel Music Halls of Fame.
