Hurt by Johnny Cash
Hurt
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:Am
Capo:no capo
Note: to play the chorus correctly and simulate the piano playing, keep the G on the third fret of the
high e string fretted with your pinky. This makes the chords G major, Am7, Fadd9, and C major.
I also suggest playing a Hendrix Fadd9, so wrap your thumb and play 1st fret low E string.
The strum pattern for Intro/Verse/Transition is picked for the downs and strummed for the ups.
I suggest picking the A and D strings, and then up strum.

version 2
Capo:no capo
I have taken the best of the previous versions and put them together the way I like to
play the song. I've also fixed the chord issue to sound more like the recording.
4/4 Time
*Notes within “()” are to be played very lightly
In the intro play both lines. For the verses, play only the second line and repeat the
second line four times as indicated in chord progression. For the transition, add some
light notes to the first two Am finger patterns. For example:
Am
e||------0-(0)-----|
B||------1-(1)-----|
G||------2-(2)-----|
D||----2-----------|
A||--0-------------|
E||----------------|
Throughout all the chords in the chorus you can keep your pinky on the high G note (e
string 3rd fret) to capture the note the piano is playing in the background if you want
a more authentic/full sound. There should be four accented down strums for each chord
with a light bass note of each chord played in between each strum.

Notes in parenthesis [e.x (3)] are ghost notes and are to be played softly and in the background.
The intro and verses go like this:

These two measures go right next to each other, so as soon as you play the open D, you go right back into
the Am. This pattern repeats throughout the intro and both verses.

everyone I know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
Bridge:
if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I'm still right here
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

For the chorus, I added a note on the high e string on the third
fret. It fills in for the piano in the background, or whatever
that is… Just leave your pinky on that fret through all the chords.
If you choose not to play it, just play the chords that I have labeled
above each measure.

Then you go back to the intro and repeat.
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I'm still right here

Everyone I know goes away

And you could have it all

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I'm still right here
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
