Harlem River by Kevin Morby
Harlem River
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: C#m
Almost the whole song alternates between E and Dbm. I've shown forms that allow the E note to remai
in both chords. This works well for a guitar and voice alone.

OUTRO
- you could consider the last three minutes as a big outro. Not much changes in here, the only notable
variations are tabbed below:
[6:43-7:00]
e|-------|
B|-------|
G|-6p4---| the solo guitar plays these notes at some points, listen to the song to get it right.
D|-------|
A|-------|
E|-------|
[7:44-7:49]
You only play the C#m here for a short bit.
[7:50-8:30]
Instead of an E, you play a Dm, so like this:
C#m Dm (again, listen to the song to get the rhythm right)
[8:31-end]
From here it's just back to the main chords (C#m E) till the end.
