Chords with lyrics
Please enjoy! The strumming pattern heard is a strum on each chord change
with possible repeated strum with repeated chord. Any pattern works but
listen to the song for ideas! Thank you!
Also, the F# minorF#m can be B minorBm if one is too hard. I strongly recommend switching to B minorBm instead of a F# minorF#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:
B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD
Harlan county's dead they're dry
Thanks again and good luck!
