[Intro] C D G C C D G C [Chorus]
  C         D
It's a cold hard world

        G         C
It's a cold hard world

        C         D
It's a cold hard world

  G
Oh no
[Verse 1]
    C              D
I heard Red Donley say

       G            C
It was on the news today

        C         D
It's a cold hard world

         G        C
It's a cold hard world
[Verse 2]
      C                  D
It's hiking across the country

        G              C
Looking for a bite to eat

             C              D
You'd be surprised at the animals

           G          C
And the people you'd meet
[Verse 3]
  C                 D
Rolling down that highway

       G                   C
With eyes fixed straight ahead

               C        D
They have a caravan of cars

     G        C
To bury the dead
[Verse 4]
     C                 D
And coke cans and pop bottles

           G                     C
Lined the streets like flowers instead

          C             D
And this guy gave me a ride

                                   G
I said this industrial waste sure stinks

     C                  D
He said he likes that smell

          G                 C
'cause that's the smell of money

           C                     G
I said "well, mister money stinks, too."
[Chorus]
         C        D
It's a cold hard world

         G         C
It's a cold hard world

         C         D
It's a cold hard world

  G
Oh no
[Verse 5]
C          D
I met a fireman

              G                    C
He said you never forget burning flesh

           C     D
And the librarian said

                G
Do you have a card here?

                C               D
I said I been coming here for weeks

               G           C
Don't you recognize me by now

           C       D
I checked out a million books

                     G
Just to get you to notice me
[Chorus]
        C          D
It's a cold hard world

         G        C
It's a cold hard world

         C         D
It's a cold hard world

  G
Oh no
[Verse 6]
            C            D
Somebody's house burned down

              G         C
Somebody's hubcap fell off

             C       D
Somebody's soul got lost

             G        C
Somebody's heart got broke
[Verse 7]
    C               D
I heard Red Donley say

        G            C
It was on the news today

         C         D
It's a cold hard world

         G         C
It's a cold hard world
