Song Name: Hurt
Artist: Johnny Cash
Transcribed by: Awesharp3
This is a pretty basic song you use a picking pattern for the verse and a
strumming pattern for the chorus.  
These are esay to figure out if you listen to the song.  I use all open chords for this song
for C/G1 I use the G on the 1st string, and for C/G2 I use the G on the
6th string.  This is a great song enjoy.
