[Intro]
Gm F C C7 (x2)
[Verse 1]
Gm F C C7 When you're so long gone, you can't help yourself Gm F C C7 When you're so dead wrong, let alone no one else Gm F C C7 Well the children still dying in the street, And babies still living with disease Gm F C C7 And the cops got guns, and the po folk got sons who work for Mr. Franklin every week
[Chorus]
Gm F C C7 And if you've come looking for hard times, hard times ain't hard to find Gm F C C7 Because we're given that lifeline, only once in a lifetime Gm F C C7 Baby we was born, maybe we were born Gm F C C7 To be sure to endure when the storm comes
[Verse 2]
Gm F C C7 Got them sad eyes, got cat eyes, got the angels tired from saving his life Gm F C C7 And you could bet to contain yourself before you end up killed Gm F C C7 Get his bare feet touchin her bare feet, the air breathes sweet near mountains peak Gm F C C7 And I forgot what the wise man said about that ancient thread
[Chorus]
Gm F C C7 And if you've come looking for hard times, hard times ain't hard to find Gm F C C7 Because we're given that lifeline, only once in a lifetime Gm F C C7 Baby we was born, maybe we were born Gm F C C7 To be sure to endure when the storm comes Gm F C C7 Baby we was born, maybe we were born Gm F C C7 To rejoice, rejoice when it succumbs
[Outro]
Gm F C C7 (x6) (fading out)
