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 G B7/D# Em A7 Lord it's hard to be a man of peace 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
[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 Lord it's hard, oh it's hard, you know it's hard to be like Jesus
