                      WHAT C  I CAD  – Johnny Cash
E|E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|| 


From the album Ring of Fire: The Best of Johnny Cash (1963)
Tabbed by: Justin Muir


Tuning: Standard, Capo 1st Fret (Chords are relative to capo)


Intro (strum slowly)

     E                                      B7
When I'm all through if I haven't been what they think I should be
       A                       E
If the total isn't high enough when they figure me
     E                                  A
When I grow old if there's no gray from worry in my hair


(syncopated strumming)

          B7             E
What do I care what do I care
          A                             E
What do I care just as long as you were mine a little while
         A                           E
When the road was long and weary you gave me a few good mile
          A                       E
What do I care if I miss a goal because I make a slip
     F#7                           B7
I'll still be satisfied because I tasted your sweet lips
          A                         E
What do I care if I never have much money
        A                             E
And sometimes my table looks a little bare
   A                                E
Anything that I may miss is made up for each time we kiss
         F#7            B7               E
You love me and I love you so what do I care
