Johnny Cash - Leave That Junk Alone (Alabama 3 Remix)
------------------------------
Key of F, ear-transcribed on ukulele by Neil Killer.
------------------------------
This was tabbed from Alabama 3's remix of "Leave That Junk Alone", which
includes elements of Johnny's original recording and Alabama 3's added verses.
------------------------------
Alabama 3's lyrics were difficult to transcribe, but I got them all, save for
one word!
