SONG: THE HARD WAY ARTIST: ERIC CHURCH TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] CAPO: NONE [Intro] E F#m7 A E A E B E {Verse}
      E          F#m        A
Only fools would race down Grist Mill Road

      B             E
Let alone in angry weather

      E     F#m        A
That what I tell everyone I know

 B               E
Now that I know better
[Chorus]
          A               E
That's a lesson I wish I woulda learned

         A                  E
Without havin' to watch my Mustang burn

       A                     E
Before my best buddy had to wind up hurt

    F#m7       E        A      A
An' his whole life was changed

          A               B
That's a lesson I wish I didn't learn

     E       E  E  E
The hard way
[Verse]
        E         F#m     A
Only a fool would keep a diamond ring

      B                     E
In a box on the top of his closet

    E      F#m7      A
He came so close he almost asked

       Bsus4       B       E
It was right there in his pocket
[Chorus]
          A               E
That's a lesson I wish I woulda learned

        A                       E
Before standin' in the back row of that church

 A                  E
Watchin' her daddy givin' her

      F#m7      E       A    A
To the man who took my place

          A               B
That's a lesson I wish I didn't learn

     E
The hard way
[Break]
    D                  A            E
Regret's been know to give a man a beatin'

            D                A                 Bsus4    B  B
But I ain't in the mood for fightin' back this evenin'
[Verse]
      E          F#m7      A
Only fools don't take the time of day

     Bsus4     B    E      E
They stay too busy runnin'

        E        F#m       A
An' to stop just once and tell their dad

     B                  E
And just how much they love him
[Chorus]
          A               E
That's a lesson I wish I woulda learned

            A                  E
Before the phone call came an' it was her

     A                 C#m
No, Momma never had to say a word

  F#m7     E       A
I knew it was too late

          A               B           B
That's a lesson I wish I didn't learn

          E  F#m7  A  A
The hard way
[Outro]
        E       F#m7  A  A
The haaaard way

        E       F#m7  A  A
The haaaard way

            E  F#m7  A  A    E  F#m7  A  E
The hard way
