John Ray Cash, mais conhecido como Johnny Cash, (Kingsland, 26 de Fevereiro de 1932 — Nashville, 12 de Setembro de 2003) foi um cantor e compositor americano de música Country, conhecido por seus fãs como "O Homem de Preto". Em uma carreira que durou quase cinco décadas, ele foi para muitas pessoas a personificação do Country. Sua voz sepulcral e o distintivo som "boom chicka boom" de sua banda de apoio "Tennessee Two" podem ser reconhecidos instantaneamente por inúmeras pessoas.

STRAWBERRY CAKE JOHNNY CASH
CAPO: 2nd FRET
INTRO: G
VERSE: GD In New York city just walking the street G Ran out of money had nothing to eat C I stopped at the Plaza, that fancy hotel D Where you can check in if you're well to do well...
GD The first of July and a hundred and four G I stopped at the Plaza's front revolving door C I stepped in the door and went around for a ride D Treatin' myself to the cool air inside
GD Then I found myself in a chandeliered room G Where people were dining and I hid in the gloom C My hunger pains hurt 'til I thought I would break DG When a waiter brought out a big strawberry cake
CHORUS: GDG Oh that strawberry cake CG Oh that strawberry cake CG Out in California them berries were grown CG And into this city them berries were flown DG For making that strawberry cake
VERSE: GD Then I thought of Oxnard, just north of LA G Where I picked strawberries for many a day C Hard work with no future for the harvest was done D And I headed eastward a-travelin' by thumb
GD And nobody wanted me here in this town G I felt like a stray dog they all kick around C Them berries reminded me of my bad breaks DG I'm hungry and I want that strawberry cake
CHORUS: GDG I deserve that strawberry cake CG Deserve that strawberry cake CG I ran and I grabbed it then out the side door CG Into Central Park through the bushes I tore DG Holdin' my strawberry cake
VERSE: GD I look back behind me and what do I see G The chef and headwaiter and the maître d C I had a nice helpin' of cake as I ran D I gobble them berries as fast as I can
GD They're closin' the gap as I slowed down to eat G But the cake brought a new surge of power to my feet C I hid in the bush when the lead I did take DG And I quietly finished my strawberry cake
CHORUS: GDG I ate all that strawberry cake CG That fine fancy strawberry cake CG Someone at the plaza is without dessert CG But for the first time in days now my belly don't hurt DG I'm full of strawberry cake
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.
