Psalm 73/Matthew 19:13-26 [Verse]
       C     G       D       Em
Well I am a good ol' western boy

           C            G            D7
I give an honest day's work if I can get it

          C          G               D          Em
I don't cheat on my taxes, I don't cheat on my girl

         C                  G        D7
I've got values that would make the White House jealous
[Verse]
       C        G            D       Em
Well I do get a little much over impressed

                C         G             D7
'Til I think of Peter and Paul and the apostles

          C          G            D      Em
I don't stack up too well against them I guess

           C                G            D7
But by the standards 'round here I ain't doin' that awful
[Chorus]
           C/G     G       D      Em             Bm               C
Lord it's hard to turn the other cheek, hard to bless when others curse you

Lord it's hard to be a  man of peace

           G             D                  Bm7     C   C/D  G

Don't you know it's hard, oh it's hard, it's hard to be like Jesus
[Chorus]
         C/G     G        D       Em             Bm                C
And it's hard to step out on them waves, hard to walk beyond your vision

           G     B7/D#  Em      A7
Lord it's hard to be a  man of faith

           G             D                  Bm7     C   C/D  G
Lord it's hard, oh it's hard, you know it's hard to be like Jesus

                    G             D          Bm7     C  C/D  G
Don't you know it's hard, oh it's hard, it's hard to be like Jesus
[Bridge]
         Dm7            G7
Well His eye is on the sparrow

          E7                      Am    C7/G
And the lilies of the field I've heard

             F                         C/E
And He will watch over you and He will watch over me

          B7         E7          A7       D7
So we can dress like flowers and eat like birds
[Chorus]
         C/G            G        D             Em
And it's hard when your soul has been stripped bare

         Bm                   C
Hard to lift your eyes toward heaven

           G     B7/D#  Em      A7
Lord it's hard to be a  man of  prayer

           G             D                  Bm7     C   C/D  G
