Nghệ sĩ: Johnny Cash
Hợp Âm Chuẩn
A very easy song, and underrated at that! Classic Johnny right here.
Standard tuning, no capo. (This is a GREAT song for beginner guitarists).

: xxx232
Note: You can also play a regular D in place of the D7, both sound correct. Just don't
play D7 in place of D in the chorus, it sounds a bit off.
