So this is my take on the Chris Thomas King version of Hard Time Killing Floor Blues. I
out the whole song because there is a pattern, but I felt that each time there were
variations on the riffs he was playing. This is the first song I've ever tabbed out by
but I'm fairly sure that most of it is correct. Listen to the track for timing.
Tuning- top and bottom E strings tuned a step down to D
