Hard Time Killing Floor Blues - Skip James (cover)

Shoot me a message if you (or somebody you know) is looking for a singer in the LA area...I just moved here a couple of months ago, and I think it'd be cool to jam with some people. I'm mostly influenced by alternative rock (Chili Peppers, Incubus, Radiohead) and old-school acoustic blues (Robert Johnson, Son House, Skip James). Basically a bunch of beat-driven stuff.

Here are the lyrics...well, maybe not all the lyrics, but this is what I sang. :)

Hard times are here, and everywhere you go
Times are harder than they've been before

And the people are drifting from door to door
Can't find no heaven, I don't care where they go

Say you had money, you better be sure
'Cause these times will kill you just dry long so

Well you hear me singing my lonesome song
These times will last us so very long

And if I ever get off this hard killing floor
I won't get down this low no more

Thanks man! I love your version too...it sounds really warm. It has a very conversational flavor to it.

Are you in standard tuning? Can you put a tab up for this? The tabs in dadfad show a slide from 5-7, and I didn't see that is why I ask.
