It Ain't Me Babe by Johnny Cash
It Ain't Me Babe
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
The other tab just didn't do Cash any respect, here's something that sounds a lot like
the original recording. Just start country picking with your thumb, first the low E
string then the rest of the chord, in a 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2(one, two, one , two) 4/4 rhythm.
