Hurt Tabulatur von Johnny Cash (für Baryton)

Verse 1:

  C      Dsus2    Am     C      D       Am
I hurt myself today   to see if I still feel

  C     Dsus2   Am        C    D            Am
I focus on the pain   the only thing that's real

    C      Dsus2   Am         C      D      Am
The needle tears a hole   the old familiar sting

       C       Dsus2 Am           C      D    *G (*start chord strums)       
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 I know   goes away in the end

    Am                F       G            G
And you could have it all     My empire of dirt

Am              F     G        -      *Am  (*return to finger style)
I will let you down   I will make you hurt

Instrumental transition: (see intro)

Verse 2:

  C         Dsus2    Am        C      D      Am
I wear this crown of thorns   upon my liar's chair

C       Dsus2   Am        C     D     Am
Full of broken thoughts   I cannot repair

  C         Dsus2      Am         C       D      Am
Beneath the stains of time   the feeling   disappears

C       Dsus2    Am    C     D          *G   (*start chord strums)       
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 I know   goes away in the end

    Am                F       G            G
And you could have it all     My empire of dirt

Am              F     G                G
I will let you down   I will make you hurt

  Am              F        G              G
If I could start again   A million miles away

Am             F     *G               (*one single strum only)
I would keep myself   I would find a way
