This is a Cover of the Johnny Cash song that Father John Misty has done for the short
film "Johnny Cash - Out Among the Stars (With Brandon Flowers, Father John Misty &
Local Natives)" produced by La Blogotheque (you can check it on Youtube to get the feel
of the song.)
The lyrics of the songs are a bit different because the song is originally a duet and
not sung solo. I'm not putting any specific riffs that Father John Misty is doing in that
video. Try your own things, play around with the scale of C, check the strumming
pattern. The song is quite easy to play so it leaves plenty of room for immagination :)
If anyone can put the tab for the 2nd guitar with the slide in the comments, that'd be great.
These chords in the cover are played in this way but you'll get the same sound with the
regular chord forms:
