Note: I could not find a recording by June Carter Cash but

I found the one by Reese Witherspoon. Since Reese played

June, I am sure the arrangement is correct.

Capo 1st Fret

Intro- Follow pattern of first two lines in verse 1*

*(F) I walked into a honky-tonk just the other (C) day

*I dropped a nickel in a juke box just to hear it (F) play

I didn't have no tune in mind, I didn't wait to (C) choose

Just dropped a nickel in the slot and I played the juke box (F) blues

Instrumental - Follow pattern of first two lines in verse 1*

(F) There's a guy in there with an old tin horn

And a feller on an old ban-(C)-jo

And the man of the fiddle he wasn't no slouch

He could really drag that (F) bow

Fiddle plays - Follow pattern of first two lines in verse 1*

(F) Well, the man on the fiddle he must have got tired

I didn't hear him (C) say

‘Cause he cut loose on the steel guitar

And the juke box ran a-(F)-way

Steel guitar plays- Follow pattern of first two lines in verse 1*

(F) And I've heard something going strong

It must have been a (C) drum

It gave that song a solid beat

Boy it was goin' (F) some

Drum plays- Follow pattern of first two lines in verse 1*

(F) I walked into a honky-tonk just the other (C) day

I dropped a nickel in a juke box just to hear it (F) play

I didn't have no tune in mind, I didn't wait to (C) choose

Just dropped a nickel in the slot and I played the juke box (F) blues

Lead guitar plays- Follow pattern of first two lines in verse 1*

(F) I've played a lot of juke boxes

Most everyone in (C) town

That's the first tune I've ever heard

That can make one mess a-(F)-round

(F) INSTRUMENT PLAYS

Play the juke box (C) blues

Such a rhythm I've never heard

I danced out both of my (F) shoes

Instrumental end is all in (F)
