This isn't the exact same way that Skip James plays it. It is a variation that sounds close to me

and is played over the chords for the song, Dm, F, C, Gm. The progression goes:

Dm, F, Dm, F, Dm, C, Gm, F, Dm.

Basically If you've got that and the lyrics (Included below) You should be able to play this song

in it's intended Key of Dm with standard tuning. The song was originally written and played in open

Dm tuning if I'm not mistaken? Strings are DADFAD instead of EADGBE anyway, with this tab you can

play it in standard.

Awesome blues song, have fun with those slides and pull offs!

LYRICS:

Hard time here and everywhere you go

Times is harder than ever been before

And the people are driftin' from door to door

Can't find no heaven, I don't care where they go

Hear me tell you people, just before I go

These hard times will kill you just dry long so

Well, you hear me singin' my lonesome song

These hard times can last us so very long

If I ever get off this killin' floor

I'll never get down this low no more

No-no, no-no, I'll never get down this low no more

And you say you had money, you better be sure

'Cause these hard times will drive you from door to door

Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more

Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more

These hard times will drive you from door to door
