[Verse 1]
G    F#m           Em    D
 Hey kids, dig the first takes,

G           F#m           Em      D
 Ain't that some interpre-tation?

G             F#m            D             Bm
 When Sinatra sings, against Nelson Riddle strings,

G     A          D
 Then takes a va-cation.
[Chorus 1]
          G    D            G        D
Seen some hard times, drawn some bad lines.

            G    A       N.C.             G       G/F#  Em  D
No time for shoe-shines... hard nose the highway.
[Verse 2]
G           F#m          Em     D
 I was tore down, at the dead's place,

G       F#m         Em     D
 Shaved head at the organ.

G                F#m               D       Bm
 But that wasn't half as bad as it was, oh no,

G  A            D
    Belfast and Boston.
[Chorus 2]
          G    D            G        D
Seen some hard times, drawn some bad lines.

            G    A       N.C.             G       G/F#  Em  D
No time for shoe-shines... hard nose the highway.
[Solo] G F#m Em D (x3), Bm, G A D [Verse 3]
G         F#m              Em    D
 Put your money where your mouth is,

G            F#m           Em    D
 Then we can get something going.

G            F#m                          D         Bm
 In order to win, you must be prepared to lose some-time,

    G            A         D
And leave one or two cards showing.
[Chorus 3]
          G    D            G        D
Seen some hard times, drawn some bad lines.

            G    A       n.C             G       G/F#  Em  D
No time for shoe-shines... hard nose the highway.

          G    D            G        D
Seen some hard times, drawn some bad lines.

            G    A       N.C.             G       G/F#  Em  D
No time for shoe-shines... hard nose the highway.
[Outro] D G G/F# Em D (Repeat to Fade)
