Damien Jurado - Ohio (just want the key)

Hello, I'm new to harp and have been learning all the classics from this site. This is the first song I've chosen that hasn't been listed here. I don't mind picking at the song to figure out the actual notes myself I would just like to know which key harp I should use and if he is playing stadard or cross harp?

Thank you!

The chords on guitar are A/E - E - E/D# - C#m.

These are the actual chords played on the standard tuned guitar with capo on 4.

Well, I googled around and someone may have the answer here:

Check the comments (there's only a couple). Looks like someone thinks they have it.

Also, are you sure about the guitar chords? According to most of what I'm seeing, it's F C C/B Am. Like here, for example:

Thanks for the reply. The guitar chords I posted are what you are actually hearing in the song. The F-C-C/B-Am are just the shapes which are then transposed 4 half steps due to the capo.

Is it weird that he is using a key of A harp but the song is in E?

I see now that the proper cross harp key is A when the song is in E. Just bought my first real harp a Special 20 in the key of A. See if I get anywhere.
