Marc,
  I don't know how many of these songs you will be familiar with so I'll include words
for ones that are like this.   A lot are words with chords over them.

Well no one has requested this but here are the riffs
from Johnny Cash's "Fulsom Prison Blues".  I'd like to 
see tab/chords for any of his other songs, particularly
"Ring of Fire."    All mistakes are mine alone ... Kevin
