Hayes Carll – Times Like These (Guitar Solo)

D
In times like these everyone could use a hand

                          A
Fighting for the promised land

     C                          G
It's so hard to tell if this is heaven or hell

            C                G
And I could never measure by degrees

         D                        A                   D
But it's sure gettin' warm 'round here in times like these

D
In times like these do I really need a billionaire

                                                        A
Just takin' all my time tryin' to tell me I was treated unfair?

          C                    G
Well then I got to pay as the home of the brave

   C              G
gets divided into them the we

     D                    A                  D
Oh I find I'm a-losing my mind in times like these

D                       G
Yeah they come and they go

                    D
They're in and then not

D                                                          A
Every day I'm getting better at losing something I haven't got

       Dm
I just wanna do my labor, love my girl, and help my neighbor

        D                         G
While I keep a little hope for my dreams

         D                  A                      D
But it's sure getting hard, brother, in times like these

D
In times like these I wish someone was on my side

                                                              A
Instead of bringing it together we're just widening the great divide

  C                      G
I hope and I pray at the end of the day

      C              G
I can somehow get my troubles to ease

      D                           A                      D
But I gotta say, it's not looking good, not in times like these

D                       G
Yeah they come and they go

                          D
They're cold then they're hot

D                                                             A
I just try to keep the world from turning me to something I'm not

    Dm
I'm gonna try to run until the whole thing's done

                                     G
And I just hope I don't end up on my knees

         D                    A                      D
But it's sure getting hard to stand up in times like these

 D
I just wanna do my labor, love my girl, and help my neighbor

                                   G
While I'm keeping all my joie de vivre

          D                 A                      D
But it's sure getting hard, brother, in times like these

                                 A                  D
I could use just a little bit of help in times like these
