The Kinks – Hard Way (Guitar)

E                  D              A
Boys like you were born to waste

          E           D           A
You never listen to a word I say

          E                    D                  A
And if you think you're here to mess around you're making a big mistake

            E                  D         A
'Cos you're gonna find out the hard way

       E                  D         A
You're gonna find out the hard way

E               D           A
No matter what I do or say

E                    D           A
you're much too dumb to educate

E                       D               A
One day life's going to turn around and slap you in the face

     E                      D              A
Then you're gonna find out the hard way (you can take the hard way)

E            D           A
Gonna take the hard way

      C#m       F#m          C#m        F#m
Well, you do it your way and I'll do it my way

      E             D         A
We'll see who's the one to survive

                 C#m         F#m       C#m    F#m
You'll find that with no foundation or qualifications

        E           D           A
There's no way that you can get by

     G              D          E
No, there's no way you can get by

E                 D             A
Why don't you take the easy way?

E              D          A
Why don't you co-operate?

E                    D            A
Don't just sit there and vegetate,

E                  D               A
Do you want to end up illiterate?

               C#m          F#m            C#m         F#m
You think that life's a vacation and you've no inclination

 E                D               A
To dust away the cobwebs of your mind

            C#m            F#m          C#m             F#m
Now it's time for confrontation and I'm tired of being patient

         E        D            A
So I've got to be cruel to be kind, yeah

      G        D            E
I've got to be cruel to be kind

E               D                A
I'm wasting my vocation teaching you to write neat

E                        D                 A
When you're only fit to sweep the streets

E                  D               A
Your intellect is such that it requires a curate's touch

 E                 D              A
So I'm going to play it your way

E                 D       A
You can take the hard way

E                 D        A
Going to take the hard way

E   D   A
          You can take the hard way

E   D   A
          Gonna take the hard way

E   D   A
          You're gonna take the hard way
