Halfway to Hardinsburg Chords & Lyrics by Houndmouth
Halfway to Hardinsburg
guitar chords lyrics
There were no chords for this on here or anywhere for that matter so I decided to put
one up. This
is my first tab and I ran the song through Chordify and then transposed so the chords
are relative
to the capo. In standard tuning this song is played with the Capo on the fourth fret.
If you
see Houndmouth live or see a video of them doing this song you will probably see the
capo on 5. I
had to learn the heard way that for some reason Matt Myers has his guitar tuned half a
step down
so just keep that in mind when watching him play this song or any other song by them.
Anyway enjoy!
Standard tuning
Capo 4
Intro: (C, Em, Am, G) x2
Verse 1:
C
You got some things to say
Em
But you never like to speak
Am G C
So you grab a pen and you head out for the table
C
You scotch taped a note down
Em
Of words that you wrote down
Am G C
Resembling an old English fable
Chorus:
F Em C
And you were half way to Hardinsburg
F G Am
And you were half way to hell
F Am C
When you heard the sound of the organ's bitter swell
(C, Em, Am, G)
Verse 2:
C Em
You're modeling the fashions while you're counting up your rations
Am G C
Well, girl you've got plans of your own
C Em
You're cursing the masses while you're looking through your glasses
Am G C
Well, girl you ain't never going back home
Chorus:
F Em C
And you were half way to Hardinsburg
F G Am
And you were half way to hell
F Am C
When you heard the sound of the organ's bitter swell
Bridge:
C Em
Mr. Moses, your front porch light's on
Am G
I've come here for your daughter and I can see that she's gone
C Em
You said she took a ring of mine to pawn
Am G
If I hurry I could catch her out on Broadway to dawn
Instrumental/Solo:
(C, Am, G, F, G) X4
Chorus:
F Em C
And you were half way to Hardinsburg
F G Am
And you were half way to hell

When you heard the sound of the organ's bitter swell
