HURT Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Hurt chord chart by Johnny Cash. Hurt was originally a song done by Nine Inch Nails and Johnny redid it in November of 2002. It was his last real musical release as he died in September 2003. If you would like to watch the powerful music video, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AHCfZTRGiI
I really like Johnny’s version of the Nine Inch Nails classic and had a lot of requests for a chord chart and lesson video of the song.
So let’s get into it!
