Johnny Cash - Hurt
Intro (*): Am, C, D (2x)
Verse 1 (*):
Am C D Am
I hurt myself today
C D Am
To see if I still feel
C D Am
I focus on the pain
C D Am
The only thing that's real
C D Am
The needle tears a hole
C D Am
The old familiar sting
C D Am
Try to kill it all away
C D G(strum)
But I remember everything
Chorus (strum all):
C F C
What have I become?
G
my sweetest friend
C F
Everyone I know
C G
Goes away in the end
C F
You could have it all
C
My empire of dirt
G C
I will let you down
F Am (*)
I will make you hurt
Verse 2 (*):
C D Am
I wear this crown of thorns
C D Am
Upon my liar's chair
C D Am
Full of broken thoughts
C D Am
I cannot repair
C D Am
Beneath the stains of time
C D Am
The feeling disappears
C D Am
You are someone else
C D G(strum)
I am still right here
Chorus (strum all):
C F C
What have I become?
G
My sweetest friend
C F
Everyone I know
C G
Goes away in the end
C F
You could have it all
C
My empire of dirt
G C
I will let you down
F C
I will make you hurt
G C
If I could start again
F C
A million miles away
G C
I would keep myself
F
I would find a way

Thanks for a great tab, EB. I got a Johnny Cash CD for Christmas that has "Hurt" on it and I had been thinking about giving it a try.
Thanks again,
Jim-Bone
