RING OF FIRE – Guitar Lesson

The Johnny Cash strumming pattern is essentially: one down … followed by a quick down/up … then down/up/down/up.

This pattern works throughout the song.

C                F    C
     Love Is A Burning Thing
C            F        C
And It Makes A Fiery Ring

C            F       G
Bound By Wild Desire

C              G      C
I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire

CHORUS

G                     F                 C   
     I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
G                   
I Went Down, Down, Down
      F                       C
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
     F          C
The Ring Of Fire
     G            C
The Ring Of Fire

  
The Taste Of Love Is Sweet
 
When Hearts Like Ours Meet
 
I Fell For You Like A  Child

Ohh, But The Fire Went Wild

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
 
The Ring Of Fire
   
The Ring Of Fire

CHORUS
