[Intro]
A G Talking about some hard times A Now listen to me
[Verse 1]
A C I grew up in a shotgun shack D F Drew water from a well that we dug out back A C Mama cooked our supper on a cast iron stove D C A Daddy listened to Hank on his old radio C The cracks in the wall let the wind blow through D C A While Hank sung a chorus of the Love Sick blues
[Pre-Chorus]
C Now the times was hard but we didn't complain D C A But when you're down on your luck it'll damn sure rain
[Chorus]
D It was hot in the summer D Cold in the winter A And we always seemed to have beans for dinner D Hard times caused a lot of hunger and pain A N.C. A When you're down on your luck, it'll damn sure rain G It'll damn sure rain A It was hard times A Listen
[Verse 2]
A C We had an old hound dog that slept on the porch D F Hunted 'coons at night with a pine knot torch A C We cut a lot of timber for the old saw mill D C A We chopped a lot of cotton, and we plowed in the fields C Drove a wagon into town to the General Store D C A We went to a church that had a stick board floor
[Pre-Chorus]
C Well the times was hard but we didn't complain D C A But when you're down on your luck it'll damn sure rain
[Chorus]
D It was hot in the summer D Cold in the winter A And we always seemed to have beans for dinner D Hard times caused a lot of hunger and pain A N.C. A When you're down on your luck, it'll damn sure rain G Oh, it will rain sometimes A It was hard times
[Verse 3]
C I remember it well, that old brush front yard D F G Daddy killin' them hogs mama boilin' that lard A C That kerosene lamp, how it glowed in the night D And the smell of that mule grime about daylight A C I can see it right now at the shotgun shack D G A Pappa drawin' that water from the well out back
[Pre-Chorus]
C Well times were hard but we didn't complain D A But when you're down on your luck, it'll damn sure rain
[Chorus]
D It was hot in the summer D Cold in the winter A And we always seemed to have beans for dinner D Hard times caused a lot of hunger and pain A N.C. G A When you're down on your luck, it'll damn sure rain D It was hot in the summer D Cold in the winter A And we always seemed to have beans for dinner D Hard times caused a lot of hunger and pain A N.C. When you're down on your luck, it'll damn sure rain G Oh, how it rains A G It was hard times
[Outro]
A G Sometimes the sun don't shine A G Some gets beaten by the hard times A Gets hard to carry it G Monologos
A G A G A G
