Chords

"When it gets the hardest" from the album Back and Fourth
I also tabbed out two riffs that might help, the first can
be played instead of the main chord sequence:
   G7  Gdim7 Adim  G
e|-----------------------|
B|-3---3-2---2-1---1-0---|
G|-4---4-3---3-2---2-0---|
D|-----------------------|
A|-----------------------|
E|-----------------------|

And this one can be played between the C and Eb chords in the verse:
   C          Eb
e|--------------|
B|--------------|
G|--------------|
D|------2-3-4-5-|
A|-3~~----------|
E|--------------|
[Intro] G7 Gdim7 Adim G G7 Gdim7 Adim G [Verse 1]
              G7      Gdim7               Adim    G
Well I been a gambler, in more ways than one

                   G7     Gdim7            Adim    G
And I've taken the chances, when they come along

             Em      D                  C      Eb
Some of them winners, while others have lost

                 G7        D              C     G
I don't feel the heartaches, or count the cards

                  G7    Gdim7              Adim   G
Been stuck in the corner, with no place to turn

                G7       Gdim7                   Adim   G
Well I had to decide then, what a run-down I've earned

               Em      D                       C     Eb
Well I made my decision, to fight the fires of hell

          G        D                   C    G
And as it happened, it sure turned out well
[Chorus]
                 G                     D
When it gets the hardest, you learn the most

                 G                     D
When it gets the hardest, it hurts the most

           C    D                     C             D
Making the same mistakes, seeking the right road to take

C               D            G
It's not really very hard to find
[Instrumental interlude] G D G D C D C D C D G G7 Gdim7 Adim G G7 Gdim7 Adim G [Verse 2]
                   G7      Gdim7                    Adim   G
Well I've walked a tightrope, I've been drunk on it too

                       G7    Gdim7                  Adim   G
I've been blind to the answers, but stumbled onto a few

                Em   D                   C     Eb
I don't have to worry if this life isn't safe

           G    D                   C     G
Living all over, you know I'd do it again
[Chorus]
                 G                     D
When it gets the hardest, you learn the most

                 G                     D
When it gets the hardest, it hurts the most

           C    D                     C             D
Making the same mistakes, seeking the right road to take

C               D            G
It's not really very hard to find

                       G                     D
Cause when it gets the hardest, you learn the most

                     G                     D
Oh, when it gets the hardest, it hurts the most

           C    D                     C             D
Making the same mistakes, seeking the right road to take

C               D            G
It's not really very hard to find
[Outro] G7 Gdim7 Adim G G7 Gdim7 Adim G (repeat chord sequence fading out )
