Capo: 1 Tuning: E A D G B E

"Oh Susanna" by Johnny Cash and James Taylor live on tv. Both are performing in the Johnny Cash TV show on February 17th 1971. James Taylor plays [Verse 1] in E key. You may use Transpose -3 or Capo 9th fret. However James used capo on 4th fret. Johnny Cash plays [Verse 2] in Db Key, but uses less chords (T'pose +1 or Capo 1). Lyrics and chords may be different as you know, but these are played and sung here. The above info refers to a YouTube (see link on top of this page). This is a good opportunity to view this song 2 ways with easy chords in same key. [Verse 1]
