I was never a fan of Johnny Cash, but I love this song. It was a little dark, but alson very cathartic. I think he knew this was one of the last songs he had left and wanted to make it count. That he did.
Hey Badfinger, Only 5*****'s WTF! (jk) I love when someone writes something and when I go to transcribe it I find myself thinking, "How in the hell did he fit that in so well?" I'm always trying the second or third note of a chord progression (first inversion, not the root) as a take-off for a counter melody. In this example, it was the added G note placed into the Am, F, C and G (already there) guitar chords of the chorus that made the G D counter melody justified. Brilliant!
Hi badfinger, Sorry it took so long to respond. The Am and F had the G note added on the guitar's E string third fret and as you correctly stated it was already there in the C and G (although on the C it was added on the E string also) that causes the high G note to ring throughout the chorus. I hope that helps.
Thanks for the compliment. The problem I'm having right now is finding the time to do anything. I think doing the regular show at your place would be a great idea but hauling all my equipment around for the music vids is too hard. I recorded this in the 1 hour I had free between raking out my lawn and babysitting my grandkids. I'll call you sometime this week.

Hey GK56,
I have to admit, I was never that big a fan of Johnny Cash either. For some reason this song really speaks to me. Thanks for the compliment!

Hi Bentdrive, LOL!
I saw my mistake in re "transcribe". I was thinking "transform", that's funny.
Anyway, I did a little research and remember a little now:
Guitar: Am and F chords do not afford the piano's G and D chords, only guitar's C chord and piano's G chord.
Guitar G chord however, works with the piano's D chord.
Sound about right?

MotherFucker! I did it again! I meant, last time here, "TRANSPOSE" not "transform".
It's been a long time my friend.
