WHAT DO I CARE - Johnny Cash
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the album Ring of Fire: The Best of Johnny Cash (1963)
Tuning: Standard, Capo 1st Fret (Chords are relative to capo)
Intro (strum slowly)
E MajorE B7B7
When I'm all through if I haven't been what they think I should be
A augmentedA E MajorE
If the total isn't high enough when they figure me
E MajorE A augmentedA
When I grow old if there's no gray from worry in my hair
(syncopated strumming)
B7B7 E MajorE
What do I care what do I care
A augmentedA E MajorE
What do I care just as long as you were mine a little while
A augmentedA E MajorE
When the road was long and weary you gave me a few good mile
A augmentedA E MajorE
What do I care if I miss a goal because I make a slip
F#7F#7 B7B7
I'll still be satisfied because I tasted your sweet lips
A augmentedA E MajorE
What do I care if I never have much money
A augmentedA E MajorE
And sometimes my table looks a little bare
A augmentedA E MajorE
Anything that I may miss is made up for each time we kiss
F#7F#7 B7B7 E MajorE
You love me and I love you so what do I care
