Chords

Artist: Johnny Cash Song: In My Life Album: American IV: The Man Comes Around Sounding Key: A Major Capo: II *The recording uses a piano for the bass notes in the intro, making it difficult to distinguish the guitar part. I added the bass notes on this tab so that it sounds more like the recording. Johnny Cash had no qualms about using capos, and from what I can hear in the recording, he clearly used one on the 2nd fret. Enjoy! *
