As recorded by Golden Earring (1971 single release) [Intro] A G A D A D A D A D A D [Verse 1]
   A                    D
In bad times, when it's dark and cold

    A               D
You got no place to rest your soul

        A          D
There's laughter behind your backs

        E
Then it seems the devil rules the deck
[Verse 2]
A             D
Nothin' seems easy these days

   A                D
Or do I see it in a different way

    A                       D
The world is spinnin', well that's OK

E
Tell me baby what's the price we pay
[Chorus]
G              D             A
Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely

G              D             A
Holy holy life, sometimes is sad

G              D             A
Holy holy life, sometimes is phoney

                     E                D     N.C.
The sooner or later, they'll find you dead
[Interlude] A D A [Verse 3]
              A                 D
Why don't you take me down to a rabbit hole

        A                D
Where a man of peace can hide his soul

A                              D
Thinkin' about pollution and a birth-control

       E
Better talk to the rabbits, it's somebodies fault
[Verse 3]
    A                   D
And maybe sometimes I'm pessimistic

    A                         D
And maybe it ain't so bad, it ain't so sick

  A                          D
I know I'm not the man of constant sorrow

    E
And tell me is it the path of evil to follow
[Chorus]
G              D             A
Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely

G              D             A
Holy holy life, sometimes is sad

G              D             A
Holy holy life, sometimes is phoney

                    E                D     
Or sooner or later, they'll find you dead

Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely

C   Bm       D       C   Bm       D   C Bm
Sometimes is phoney, sometimes is sad

D         C         Bm       D
Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely

C   D                C   Bm       D       C  Bm
Sometimes is phoney, sometimes is sad, so sad

Holy holy life, sometimes is lonely
