VERSE 1:
A B7 E E
Just around the corner there's heartache--
A B7 E E
Down the street that losers use--
A B7 E E
If you can wade in through the teardrops,
A B7 E E
You'll find me at the Home of the Blues--
VERSE 2:
A B7 E E
I walk and cry while my heartbeat
A B7 E E
Keeps time with the drag of my shoes--
A B7 E E
The sun never shines through this window of mine--
A B7 E E
It's dark at the Home of the Blues--
BREAK:
A A E E
Oh, but the place is filled with the sweetest mem'ries--
B7 B7 E E
Mem'ries so sweet that I cry--
A A E E
Dreams that I've had left me feelin' so bad,
F#7 F#7 F#7 B7 B7
I just want to give up and lay down and die--
VERSE 3:
A B7 E E
So if you've just lost your sweetheart,
A B7 E E
And it seems there's no good way to choose--
A B7 E E
Come along with me, mis'ry loves company--
A B7 E E
You're welcome at the Home of the Blues--
LEAD TACIT--
A B7 E E A A E E B7 B7 E E
VERSE 1 / CODA:
A B7 E E
Just around the corner there's heartache--

Down the street that losers use--
A B7 E E
If you can wade in through the teardrops,
A B7 E E
You'll find me at the Home of the Blues--
A B7 E E A A E E E
Yeh, you're gonna find me at the Home of the Blues-- =

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JOHNNY CASH tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
