Well since the only other tab on this site isn't totally corect, I'll post the
way I hear it and play it. This may not be 100% right either, but it sounds
closer than hell. You'll have to listen for the strumming pattern on the Chorus
and Bridge, but they're the same chords. So I hope this works!
Standard Tunning
Intro/Verse:
e|------0--------0---------2------|
B|------1--------1---------3------|
G|------2--------0-------2-2------|
D|----2-2------2-2------0--0------|
A|---0--0------3-3----------------|
E|--------------------------------|
Chorus/Bridge:
e|--3----3----1----3----|
B|--3----3----1----1----|
G|--0----2----2----0----|
D|--0----2----3----2----|
A|--2----0----3----3----|
E|--3----0----1----0----|
Lyrics:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/johnny_cash/hurt_tab_ver_2.html ]
Verse 1:
I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
Chorus:
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
Verse 2:
I wear my crown of shit
on my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stain of time
the feeling disappears
you are someone else
I am still right here
Chorus:
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
Bridge:
if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
Well, there you have it. I hope everyone can figure the strumming pattern out.
It's not all that difficult. Well leave any comments, suggestions or corrections
that you may have! Thanks!
