Harlan County by Loudon Wainwright III






                                   Harlan County







Tuning: E A D G B E
 
Also, the F#m can be Bm if one is too hard. I strongly recommend switching to Bm instead of a F#m at the
the last line of each section but I didn't want to change it
and make it too complicated. But other than that, I recommend the F#m.
 
 
Here is the changed "last" line for each section:
 
Bm               A        D
Harlan County's damn near dry.
 
Thanks again and good luck!
No capo
