@walkwithitraining if we're getting technical, it's not a Johnny Cash song either. It's a song written by Danny Dill, recorded by Lefty Frizzell, made famous by Johnny Cash and then performed live to critical acclaim by Dave Matthews and Emmylou Harris. This particular version is done more in the style of the Dave Matthews performance.
Don't try to be a know-it-all, unless you actually do know it all.

Great version of this ... love the 3-note undercurrent repeat. Was looking for popular versions of this and almost flew right past yours. Glad I didn't. I think I'm a fan!

@callumholly67 First, you should know that I play this "wrong", meaning I don't play it the way Dave Matthews does. I think he plays it with bar chords, and stretches his pinky to add the "D" note to the C chord.
I play essentially the same notes he does, but in a different position. I'm playing an open C chord, then I add the D note with my pinky on the 2nd string, 3rd fret. That should be enough info for you to figure it out. Good luck.
