Times're gettin' hard boy time to move along

E            A            B7                 E
Pack up everything we own that won't take us long

              A             F#m             B7
Say goodbye today because tomorrow we'll be gone

     E                  F#m             B7              E
It's hard to leave this place it's been hometown for so long

                             A                   B7              E
Oh but a man can't live with nothing's right and everything goes wrong
[Bridge]
A                 B7                      E
Sometimes I drink cause sometimes I think maybe I was born with a curse

A                                F#m                B7           E
Things don't get no better for me they just go from bad to worse

         F#m                    B7                           E
You know I spent my entire life learned my trade and working hard

                                      A
Then one day the bossman brought some big machines

         B7                   E
And next day he told me I was fired
[Chorus]
E                A        B7             E
Times're gettin' hard boy money's almost gone

                 A        F#m           B7
Times're gettin' hard boy time to move along

      E                 F#m         B7                 E
Gonna take my true love by the hand lead her from this town

                 A              B7         E
Times're gettin' hard boy we're California bound
[Outro] E
