SONG: STRAWBERRY CAKE ARTIST: JOHNNY CASH TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: GUITARZAN7@HOTMAIL.COM STRAWBERRY CAKE JOHNNY CASH CAPO: 2nd FRET INTRO: G VERSE:

^GIn New York city just w^Dalking the street Ran out of money had n^Gothing to eat I stopped at the Plaza, that fa^Cncy hotel Where y^Dou can check in if you're well to do well...

The f^Girst of July and a h^Dundred and four I stopped at the Plaza's front r^Gevolving door I stepped in the door and went aro^Cund for a ride Tr^Deatin' myself to the cool air inside

Then ^GI found myself in a chand^Deliered room Where people were dining and I h^Gid in the gloom My hunger pains hurt 'til I tho^Cught I would break When a wa^Diter brought out a big strawberry c^Gake

CHORUS:

^GOh that st^Drawberry c^Gake ^COh that strawberry c^Gake Out ^Cin California them be^Grries were grown And i^Cnto this city them b^Gerries were flown For m^Daking that strawberry c^Gake

VERSE:

T^Ghen I thought of Oxnard, just n^Dorth of LA Where I picked strawberries for m^Gany a day Hard work with no future for the h^Carvest was done And ^DI headed eastward a-travelin' by thumb

And n^Gobody wanted me h^Dere in this town I felt like a stray dog they a^Gll kick around Them berries reminded me ^Cof my bad breaks I'm h^Dungry and I want that strawberry c^Gake

CHORUS:

^GI deserve that st^Drawberry c^Gake Des^Cerve that strawberry c^Gake I r^Can and I grabbed it then o^Gut the side door In^Cto Central Park through the bu^Gshes I tore H^Doldin' my strawberry c^Gake

VERSE:

I l^Gook back behind me and w^Dhat do I see The chef and headwaiter and t^Ghe maître d I had a nice helpin' of c^Cake as I ran I go^Dbble them berries as fast as I can

They're cl^Gosin' the gap as I sl^Dowed down to eat But the cake brought a new surge of p^Gower to my feet I hid in the bush when the l^Cead I did take And I qu^Dietly finished my strawberry c^Gake

CHORUS:

^GI ate all that str^Dawberry c^Gake That f^Cine fancy strawberry c^Gake Some^Cone at the plaza is w^Githout dessert But for the fi^Crst time in days now my b^Gelly don't hurt I^D'm full of strawberry c^Gake

NOTE: THERE ARE TWO VERSIONS I HAVE SEEN JOHNNY CASH PLAYING THIS SONG LIVE. ON ONE HE CAPOED AT THE 2nd FRET AND ON ANOTHER HE CAPOED ON THE 3rd FRET BUT USED THE EXACT SAME CHORDS FOR BOTH.
