Marc,
  I don't know how many of these songs you will be familiar with so I'll include words
for ones that are like this.   A lot are words with chords over them.


Johnny Cash does this in E.

Well no one has requested this but here are the riffs
from Johnny Cash's "Fulsom Prison Blues".  I'd like to 
see tab/chords for any of his other songs, particularly
"Ring of Fire."    All mistakes are mine alone ... Kevin
