The Ghost of Johnny Cash by Shawn Mullins Acoustic version from KINK.FM video Key: A Standard Tuning (I think the studio version is in F# and uses an alternate tuning. I liked this version since Shawn transposed it into standard tuning, which makes it easier to play live and it loses none of the character of the studio version) Am (x02210@1) GI (320003@1)woke up in a cold sweat, from a dream at 3am, D/F# (200232@1) FI (133211@1)was driftin' on a sea of shadows; the rain was whippin' in the wind Am (x02210@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) D/F#I (200232@1)saw a man dressed all in black, reach out and take the helm, F (133211@1) E (022100@1) AmAnd (x02210@1)he charted us a course, out into the spirit realm.
