version 2
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:G
Capo:2nd fret
There's a little RIFF played at the end of each
SECOND and FOURTH line
With your fingers in the G CHORD position, lift your
MIDDLE FINGER to play the A STRING OPEN
Then replace it to play the A STRING 2nd FRET
Then play the E STRING 3rd FRET
They also sometimes play a quick HAMMER ON/HAMMER OFF
on the A STRING instead
A|-0-2---| A|-0-HO2HO--|
E|-----3-| E|--------3-|
In the THIRD VERSE, For the line 'It's singing all the day'
I think it should have been 'It's sighing all the day'
but I'm pretty sure Mr. Cash says 'singing'.
YOU sing what YOU want.
Don't forget your CAPO on the SECOND FRET
To play along with the recorded version.
