Hard Time Killing Floor Blues

Skip James

Composed by: Arlo Guthrie / Darryl McDaniels / Joseph Simmons / Ray Charles / Stony Browder Jr. / W. Warring
key: G Tuning: E A D G B E
is the version played by Chris Thomas King, from the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack. 

Note 1: There are small variations in this song while it is played to
give the song life and keep it interesting.

Note 2: At the end of the song, as it fades out, you can hear Chris start
back with Riff 6, but you can make up your own ending.
