The Kingston Trio – Hard Aint It Hard (Guitar)

                                            C
Oh well, it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard

   G                           D
To love one who never did love you

              G                             C
Oh well, it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard, great god

   G            D             G
To love one who never will be true

                                   C
Well, there is a house in this old town

    G                               D
And that’s where my true love lays around

        G                        C
And she sits down upon another’s knee (do tell)

    G                  D               G
And tells him what she never will tell me

                                            C
Oh well, it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard (oh yes)

   G                           D
To love one who never did love you

              G                             C
Oh well, it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard, great god

   G            D             G
To love one who never will be true

                                  C
Oh well, the first time I seen my true love

          G                D
She was a-standing a-by my door

        G                    C
And the last time I seen her false-hearted smile

        G            D       G
She was dead on that barroom floor (porter)

                                            C
Oh well, it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard (oh yes)

   G                           D
To love one who never did love you

              G                             C
Oh well, it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard, great god

   G            D             G
To love one who never will be true

                                 C
Well, who’s gonna kiss your ruby lips?

G                            D
Who’s gonna hold your little hand?

    G                    C
And who’s gonna do, well, you know what

     G        D                G
When I’m down in that promised land? (hey)

                                            C
Oh well, it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard (oh yes)

   G                           D
To love one who never did love you

              G                             C
Oh well, it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard, great god

   G            D             G
To love one who never will be true (pick it)

                               C
Oh well, don’t go drinkin’ and gamblin’

      G                            D
Don’t go there your sorrows for to drown

              G                     C
Oh well, this hard liquor place is a low down disgrace

         G            D             G
It’s the meanest darn place in this town

                                            C
Oh well, it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard (oh yes)

   G                           D
To love one who never did love you

              G                             C
Oh well, it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard, great god

   G            D             G
To love one who never will be true (here we go)

                                            C
Oh well, it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard (oh yes)

   G                           D
To love one who never did love you

              G                             C
Oh well, it’s hard, ain’t it hard, ain’t it hard, great god

   G            D             G
To love one who never will be true
