Big River by Johnny Cash guitar tab (text):BIG RIVER by JOHNNY CASH Tabbed by Matthew Eldon Verge 2006 Luther Perkins, Johnny Cash'selectric-guitarist, played this with a capo on the first fret . . . seeing as how this only makes a half step difference, I'm not clear why, but here it is anyway. You can play it with ot without the capo, but it won't sound exactly like the song without it. The first bit is picked open, the second bit is palm-muted. Intro: E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------| -2-2-2-2------5--5--5--------2-2-2-2-----5--5--5-------------------------------| ---------2-0--3--3--3-0-------------2-0--3--3--3-0-----------------------------| Open PM.............Open PM........ Okay, now, remember that last part because it plays it many times through the song while he sings. I'm going to give what the rythm guitar plays here first, just open chords strummed (listen to the song to get the rythm, it's pointless trying to write it down here). This is what Cash plays, although there seems to also be a mandolin or another guitar capoed very high playing open chords as well. I'll put Luther's electric guitar part underneath. If you're playing this song by yourself, and not in a band, all you need is this. If you want your band to sound even remotely like the original, you want one acoustic guitar playing the open chords and an electric guitar playing Luther's part. Don't let the B chord scare you, I've shown you an easy way to play it at the bottom. E Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, B7 And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky. E A And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River. E B7 E Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die.

Open PM........ Open PM.......... Open Now for Luther's parts during the song . . . they're very, very simple, in fact they're mostly power chords and variations on the intro. He does pretty much the same thing throughout the whole song. There's not really much of a bass line to this song, more of a thumping, and his guitar mimics a catchy bass line. What he does is almost like strumming open chords, only he just plays the two strings at a time. He has a clean sound with a tube amp, which still sound a bit rough.
