What do I Care

Johnny Cash


Tom: F

Tuning: Standard, Capo 1st Fret (Chords are relative to capo) 
  
Intro (strum slowly) 
 
     E                                      B7 
When I'm all through if I haven't been what they think I should be  
       A                       E 
If the total isn't high enough when they figure me  
     E                                  A 
When I grow old if there's no gray from worry in my hair  
  
(syncopated strumming) 
 
          B7             E 
What do I care what do I care  
          A                             E 
What do I care just as long as you were mine a little while  
         A                           E 
When the road was long and weary you gave me a few good mile  
          A                       E  
What do I care if I miss a goal because I make a slip  
     F#7                           B7 
I'll still be satisfied because I tasted your sweet lips  
          A                         E 
What do I care if I never have much money  
        A                             E 
And sometimes my table looks a little bare  
   A                                E 
Anything that I may miss is made up for each time we kiss  
         F#7            B7               E 
You love me and I love you so what do I care
