Chords

[-This song's vocals cover nearly two octaves, so grab a capo and put it wherever you need to. As written, in standard tuning you'll sing from a low E to a middle Db.] [-Playing the E7 chords as 022130 is kinda distracting here, so I recommend 020100.] [If Johnny Cash brought you here, transpose -2 to play it in G, put a capo on the first fret, skip the 3rd verse & chorus, and sing "You'll" in the place of "Thou'lt" and you'll be all set.] [Verse]
