Long Hard Road (The Share Cropper's Dream)
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:C
Capo:5th fret
[Verse 1]
G C G D G
Way back in my memory there's a scene that I recall of a little rundown cabin in the woods
G C G D G
our Daddy never promised that are bluemoon would turn gold but he laid awake all night wishing that it would
G C G D G
When the world was on our radio hard work was on our minds we lived our day-to-day in plain dirt fashion
G C G
with the old overalls and cotton balls all strapped across your back
D G
'n it's hard to make believe there ain't nothing wrong
[Chorus]
Em C G D
Momma kept the Bible read and Daddy kept our family fed and somewhere in between I must have grown
Em C G D
because I just kept on dreaming that a song that I was singing takes me down the road to where I wanna go
Em D G
now I know it's a long hard road
[Verse 2]
G C G D G
Sometimes I remember when I'd stay up late at night when the sun up came we got up and went
G C G D G
and the shadows of a working day our moonlight hours spent singing songs along with Grandma's radio
G C G D G
Now I'm beating down this old blacktop road sleeping in a sack living up my memories all in vain
G C G
because those city lights and all that bright compared to what it's like
D G
to see lightning bugs go dancing in the rain
[Chorus]
Em C G D
Momma played the guitar then and Daddy made the sawblade band and raindrops played our tin roof like a drum
Em C G D
but I just kept on dreaming that a song that I was singing takes me down the road to where my name is known
Em D G
now I'm gone and it's a long hard road
[Outro]
Em D G
Yes I know, it's a long hard road
