Big River: the original lead
CD: The Man In Black Johnny Cash His Greatest Hits
This version is in F so I capo the 1st fret and play
it in E.

The other version I've tabbed is from a Highwaymen cd
and was re-recorded, I believe this is the original
but I'm not sure.  

All guitars are played with the capo at the 1st fret.
the 2 on the A string is actually a C note and the 0
is actually a B-flat note.
