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#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!
