Guitar Tab for the Steve Earl Song “Lonely Are the Free”

Lonely are the Free

Steve Earl

Leaves of Grass Soundtrack

This song is played in C# with the capo on the 6th fret (in this position, the C# is played as a modified G ‘one of Steve’s signature chords’) He then goes down to an A#, which is played in the Em position. So really, you’re playing a modified G and an Em with the capo on the 6th fret… very simple, and the same chord progression as 60% of his songs

Capo 6 Travis Pick

G 320033

They’re aren’t any tabs of this song so I decided to tab something out, Steve Earl plays a lot of his songs like this so I think its correct, it can also be played tuned half a step down with bar chords but this is so much easier. Enjoy.

Any suggestions hit me up
