Biography:
John Cowan Hartford (December 30, 1937– June 4, 2001) was an American country and bluegrass composer and musician known for his mastery of the fiddle and banjo, as well as for his witty lyrics, unique vocal style, and extensive knowledge of Mississippi River lore. Hartford performed with a variety of ensembles throughout his career, and is perhaps best known for his solo performances where he would interchange the guitar, banjo, and fiddle from song to song.

In Plain View of The Town
Heading Down To Mystery Below
John Hartford
Banjo tuned Eb, Capo 4, Key of: D
Fog horn and whistle till :34 and to 1:00, music begins at 1:15
[Chorus]
D G D
Looks like no matter, how hard they push,
A
These barges are still on the ground
D G D
Must have been embarrasing for the pilot
G D
Here in plain view of the town
[Verse]
G D G
And even though they pushed them over toward shore
D
They still ain't going nowhere
G D
Along the river while people fish
A
And some just sit and stare
[Instrumental]
D G D
The sun's going down, it's almost supper,
A
I been a working since early day
D G D
But unless the Ohio comes up a little,
A D
I guess that's where they'll stay
[Instrumental]
G D D
Listen to the now I really hit her a lick
G D
He's really mad at it now
G D
They had to face up to the other end
A D
To get it off the ground
