Ring Of Fire chords
by Johnny Cash- Ring Of Fire was written by June Carter and Merle Kilgore.
- Johnny Cash recorded the song March 25, 1963, and released it April 19, 1963 from the album Ring Of Fire: The Best Of Johnny Cash.
- Music: Key of G Major in 4/4 and 2/4 time at a moderately bright Tempo
- Easy Chords: G, C, D
- Changes in the time signature occur throughout the song especially in the Intro and wherever the trumpets play. I have only included the time signatures in the Intro and Instrumental sections on the song sheet so you can get a feel for the timing. In the verses the bars of C Major represented by * are also in 2/4 time.
