[Intro]
A G
Talking about some hard times
A
Now listen to me
[Verse 1]
A C
I grew up in a shotgun shack
D F
Drew water from a well that we dug out back
A C
Mama cooked our supper on a cast iron stove
D C A
Daddy listened to Hank on his old radio
C
The cracks in the wall let the wind blow through
D C A
While Hank sung a chorus of the Love Sick blues
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Now the times was hard but we didn't complain
D C A
But when you're down on your luck it'll damn sure rain
[Chorus]
D
It was hot in the summer
D
Cold in the winter
A
And we always seemed to have beans for dinner
D
Hard times caused a lot of hunger and pain
A N.C. A
When you're down on your luck, it'll damn sure rain
G
It'll damn sure rain
A
It was hard times

Listen
[Verse 2]
A C
We had an old hound dog that slept on the porch
D F
Hunted 'coons at night with a pine knot torch
A C
We cut a lot of timber for the old saw mill
D C A
We chopped a lot of cotton, and we plowed in the fields
C
Drove a wagon into town to the General Store
D C A
We went to a church that had a stick board floor
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Well the times was hard but we didn't complain
D C A
But when you're down on your luck it'll damn sure rain
[Chorus]
D
It was hot in the summer
D
Cold in the winter
A
And we always seemed to have beans for dinner
D
Hard times caused a lot of hunger and pain
A N.C. A
When you're down on your luck, it'll damn sure rain
G
Oh, it will rain sometimes
A
It was hard times
[Verse 3]
C
I remember it well, that old brush front yard
D F G
Daddy killin' them hogs mama boilin' that lard
A C
That kerosene lamp, how it glowed in the night
D
And the smell of that mule grime about daylight
A C
I can see it right now at the shotgun shack
D G A
Pappa drawin' that water from the well out back
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Well times were hard but we didn't complain
D A
But when you're down on your luck, it'll damn sure rain
[Chorus]
D
It was hot in the summer

Cold in the winter

And we always seemed to have beans for dinner

Hard times caused a lot of hunger and pain
A N.C. G A
When you're down on your luck, it'll damn sure rain
D
It was hot in the summer
D
Cold in the winter

And we always seemed to have beans for dinner

Hard times caused a lot of hunger and pain
A N.C.
When you're down on your luck, it'll damn sure rain

Oh, how it rains
A G
It was hard times

Sometimes the sun don’t shine
A G
Some gets beaten by the hard times

Gets hard to carry it
G
Monologos
