For those of you trying to play along with a Johnny Cash album, there is a
trick, which I haven't seen posted anywhere in the archive as of yet.
The key to playing almost ALL of Johnny Cash's tunes is to either Capo the
first fret, or tune up 1/2 step. (from low to high: F, B, D#, G#, C, f)
The E, A, B7 progression capoed will have you right on tune with the album.
Hope this helps someone!

I think Cash' recording goes E - A - B7, otherwise this is correct, of course.
