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.

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
