Heartwood Guitar Instruction
Ring Of Fire
by June Carter and Merle Kilgore, as performed by Johnny Cash in “Walk the Line”
Note: This song has some tricky time signature issues. It’s in cut time (2/2), but for clarity, I’ve notated it as if it’s in 4/4 (with occasional measures of 2/4). I’ve also “dashed out” the verses because of the complex rhythm.
Also, this version, from the movie “Walk the Line,” is simpler than the original and works better if you don’t have a mariachi band on hand.
