This is my third Woody Guthrie song Ive posted and this the way it was played in the asch recording and is the way he always played it. The following figure is played wherever there is a long G: G /E /D /a-B : . . . : . . . |-----3-3-----3-3-|-----3-3-----3-3-| |-----0-0-----0-0-|-----0-0-----0-0-| |-----0-0-----0-0-|-----0-0-----0-0-| |---------2-------|-0---------------| |-----------------|---------0h2-----| |-3---------------|-----------------| G /E /D /a-B G [etc.] Oh, I've been havin' some hard travelin', I thought you knowed. A D I've been havin' some hard travelin', way down the road. G C I've been havin' some hard travelin', hard ramblin', hard gamblin' D G An' I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lawd. Oh, I've been ridin' them blind passengers, I thought you knowed. I've been ridin' in fast wheelers, way down the road. Blind passengers, flat wheelers, dead enders, kicking up cinders An' I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lawd. Ooh, I've been workin' in a hard rock tunnel, I thought you knowed. I've been pourin' red hot slag way down the road. I've been a-blastin' an' I've been firin' an' I've been pourin' the red hot iron An' I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lawd. Oh, I've been walkin' that Lincoln Highway, I thought you knowed. I've been hitchin' on the '66, way down the road. Heavy load, a worried man, I'm a-lookin' for a woman that's a-hard to find I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lawd. Oh, I've been hittin' some hard harvestin', I thought you knowed. North Dakota to Kansas City way down the road. Bunchin' that wheat an' stacking that hay, trying to make about a dollar a day An' I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lawd. Oh, I've been locked in a hard rock jail, I thought you knowed. I've been layin' out ninety days, way down the road. The mean old judge he says to me, "That's a-ninety days for vagrancy." An' I've been hittin' some hard travelin', Lawd. Oh, I've been havin' some hard travelin', I thought you knowed. I've been hittin' some hard travelin', way down the road. I've been hittin' some hard travelin', hard ramblin', hard gamblin' An' I've been havin' some hard travelin', Lawd
