G                               C
Hard times ain't half as bad as bad times
D7                         G
That's what I leaned in my life
                    C
Hard times no money bad times no honey
G                               D7  G
Hard times ain't half as bad as bad times

                                      C
The biggest load I ever carried on my back
                 D7                                G
Is a memory of a girl that I left waiting once for me
                                     C
I set out to make a dollar just so I could come back taller
        D7                            G
And the low down fool I counted me to be
 
Repeat #1

                                       C
I spent hours working hard to meet the sun 
               D7                                G
Never thinking that the one that I love could be untrue
                                      C
I don't blame her for finding someone leaving me behind
      D7                                 G
Guess that was the best thing for her to do

Repeat #1 x2
