| To play along with Josh: --> capo 1 <-- |
| | E | C#m4 |
| | Brings me back | to Harbortown |
| | F#sus2 | Asus4 |
| | Where me and my true love once | lay |
| | E | C#m4 |
| | We watched the lights go up and | sun go down |
| | F#sus2 | Asus4 |
| | We let the moon rise where it m | ay |
| | E | C#m4 |
| | There I stood, t | he river flowed |
| | F#sus2 | Asus4 |
| | There she stood my black-haired J | ill |
| | E | C#m4 |
| | The wind addressed | her tresses black |
| | F#sus2 | Asus4 |
| | The long love letters to the | hills |
| | E | C#m4 |
| | Light a light, | lightly |
| | F#sus2 | Asus4 |
| | How the shoreline meets the | sea |
| | E | C#m4 |
| | Light a light, | lightly |
| | F#sus2 | Asus4 |
| | How the closing meets the | day |
| | E | C#m4 |
| | I'm a poor boy, | the night is cold |
| | F# | Asus4 |
| | The meager treasure though it | be |
| | E | C#m4 |
| | And I would turn my restless y | outh to gold |
| | F# | Asus4 |
| | That I might spend it all on | thee |
| | E | C#m4 |
| | Which brings me back t | o Harbortown |
| | F#sus2 | Asus4 |
| | Where me and my true love once | lay |
| | E | C#m4 |
| | We watched the lights go up and the | sun go down |
| | F#sus2 | Asus4 |
| | We let the moon rise where it | may |
| | E | C#m4 |
| | Light a light, | lightly |
| | F#sus2 | Asus4 |
| | How the shoreline meets | sea |
| | E | C#m4 |
| | Light a light, l | ightly |
| | F#sus2 | Asus4 |
| | How the closing meets the | day |
| E - C#m4 - F#sus2 - Asus4 x2 |
| Yes, I know that's actually C#m7+11 or somesuch nonsense. |
| Also, it's F#sus2+9, I think. |
| I think Josh is likely in an alternate tuning, open E perhaps. |
| This is a try at playing it in standard/Spanish tuning. |
| The opening picking really sounds like: |
E----------------
B---------0------
G-------2--------
D-----6-----6----
A----------------
E-0--------------
| which also suggests an alternate tuning |
| an acceptable alternative: |
E----------------
B-------0--------
G-----2----------
D---2-----------
A----------------
E-0--------------
| basically substituting with an Esus4 |
| | E | C#4 | F#sus2 |
| | p p i p m p i | p p i p m p i | p p i p m p i |
E-------------------------------------------------------------

| If the F#sus2 is a stretch, replace it with an Asus4 with a F# bass note. |
