[Intro] G G Em C (x6) [Verse 1]
G
   When I was young my daddy said, son

Em                  C
Never be ashamed of where you're from

G
   There's nothin' wrong with your last name

   Em                   C
So don't be lookin' for people to blame

G
   'Cause hard times they come and they go

Em                              C
Most of the time they're in the middle of your road

G
   Same pain in different ways

Em                           C
Don't you know, son, when it pours it rains
[Chorus]
G           Em         C
Hard times,     in the middle of your road

G           Em                 C
Hard times, creepin' up on the good folks you know

G                Em                      C
Hard times, your daddy wakes up, and you lit the stove

G                    Em                      C
Hard times, from the California Hills to the Cumberland Road
[Interlude] F C Am Bm C D G G Em C [Verse 2]
G
   You got yours and I have mine

Em                     C
Mostly good folks have tried and tried

G
   To make a livin' on your minimum wage

       Em                     C
You're comin' up short nearly every day

G
   An' what's enough an' what's the cost

    Em                    C
You can't stand up 'cause all is lost

G
   You roll us up and your doors are locked

          Em                 C
There's a poor boy livin' on every block
[Chorus]
G           Em         C
Hard times,     in the middle of your road

G           Em                 C
Hard times, creepin' up on the good folks you know

G                  Em               C
Hard times, you're livin' down, the rest of you knows

G                    Em                      C
Hard times, from the California Hills to the Cumberland Road

G
   It's the same pain, different way

Em                           C
Don't you know, that when it pours it rains

G
   And they'll always be around

Em                 C
Followin' you from town to town

    G
But you can get up when it puts you down

       Em                         C
'Cause everybody's got 'em if you look around
[Chorus]
G           Em         C
Hard times,     in the middle of your road

G           Em                 C
Hard times, creepin' up on the good folks you know

G           Em                C
Hard times, huddlin' around a wood burnin' stove

G                    Em                      C          G
Hard times, from the California Hills to the Cumberland Road
