Johnny Cash - I heard that lonesome whistle blow

Capo on fret #3

Intro: G D G

G
I was ridin' Number Nine,
C                       G    
Headin' south from Caroline.
G                     D         G
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
G
Got in trouble, had to roam,
C                          G
Left my gal an' left my home.
G                   D           G
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.


C
Just a kid, actin' smart,
                  G
I went and broke my darling's heart,
                             D
I guess I was too young to know.
G         
They took me off the Georgia Main,
C                         G
Locked me to a ball and chain.
G                    D          G
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.


Intro /G D G/


G
All alone I bear the shame,
C                     G
I'm a number, not a name.
G                   D           G
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.
G                 
All I do is sit an' cry
C                            G
When the evenin' train goes by.
G                  D            G
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.


C
I'll be locked here in this cell
                   G
Till my body's just a shell
                                D
An' my hair turns whiter than snow.
G
I'll never see that gal of mine.
C                            G
Lord, I'm in Georgia doin' time.
G                   D            G
I heard that lonesome whistle blow.

I put this same tab on, only the one that I put was capo the first fret, and play chords for the key of A. It's the same key as capoed on the third fret playing G. It makes both of them Bb. You deleted my tab. It might not be the same chord voicings for the key of Bb, but it was still the right key. You did not have to delete my tab.
If I forgot to put capo the first fret, I meant to put that. Thats why theres a link that says Edit Tab. So I could make changes to it. You did not have to delete it. For this song, you could capo the fifth fret and play F. I lay the actual chords for Bb without the capo. I use the actual Bb chord. I harly ever use a capo because of my skill. I only use a capo for some songs bcuz sum songs have ugly sounding chord voicings that u just gottause it. if ure gonna do that, just add another tab without getting rid of it. So you duplicate one tab. Big deal. The number of Cash tabs was so close to 300, far more than anyone else especiall that George Strait who dont even write his own songs, and now the number got smaller. Keep that up people, and hell have more tabs than Cash. Cash has alot more songs than him, and Cash writes his own songs, so therefore, hes better, and should have far more tabs submitted to this site.

Sorry man, I didn't know that I deleted your tab! I started with searching for the tab of this song in the Johnny Cash "directory", but I didn't find it!So I made my own, but nothing showed, that I deleted your tab when I uploaded this!
In the other hand, when you try to upload a tab, or something here, the server tells you if the same title is existing, and asks you to modyfy the title to a non-existing.

This isn't a Cash song, it's Hank Sr.
