Johnny Cash - Hurt


This is the riff Johnny Cash uses for his intro and verse.
So this pattern goes on and on until the chorus, where you
just play plain chords.

   Am	       C	     D		  Am*
E-------0---------0---------2--|   |--------0--| When marked with
B-------1---------1---------3--|   |--------1--| *, play the Am
G-------2---------0------2--2--|   |------2-2--| this way. No big
D----2--2------2--2----0-------|   |----2------| difference, but
A--0---------3-----------------|   |--0--------| I'll tab that too.
E------------------------------|   |-----------|


Intro:

Am - C - D - Am - C - D - Am

Verse:

  C         D  Am       C      D	   Am
I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel
  C      D      Am        C      D          Am
I focus all the pain, the only thing that's real
    C        D     Am        C      D     Am
The needle tears a hole, the old familiar stain
       C       D   Am          C        D         G
Try to kill it all away, but I remember everything

Chorus:

Am            F     C             G
What have I become, my sweetest friend
Am             F          C	        G
Everyone one I know, goes away in the end
Am                    F    G
And you could have it all, my empire of dirt
Am             F     G               Am*
I will let you down, I will make you hurt

C - D	- Am* - C - D - Am

2nd Verse:

  C           D      Am      C       D     Am*
I wear this crown of thorns, upon my liars chair
C       D      Am        C    D   Am
Full of broken thoughts, I cannot repair
  C         D         Am        C      D    Am
Beneath the stains of time, the feelings disappear
C       D       Am    C    D           G
You are someone else, I am still right here

Chorus:

Am            F     C             G
What have I become, my sweetest friend
Am             F          C	        G
Everyone one I know, goes away in the end
Am                    F    G
And you could have it all, my empire of dirt
Am             F     G
I will let you down, I will make you hurt

Outro:

Am               F        G
If I could start again, a million miles away
Am          F       G (let ring)
I will keep myself, I would find a way
