Baby Huey & The Babysitters - Hard Times
[Verse 1]
AmCold, cold eyes upon me they stare
People all around me and they're aCll in fear
TDmhey don't seem to want me but they wCon't admit
I must Ambe some kind of creature up here having fits
[Verse 2]
AmFrom my party house, I'm afraid to come outside
Although I'm filled with love I'm afraid they'll hCurt my pride
So I pDmlay the part I feel they want of mCe
And I puAmll the shades so I won't see them seein' me
[Chorus]
Havin' haDmrd tAmimes in this crCazy town
Havin' haDmrd tAmimes, there's no lDmove to be foCund
Havin' haDmrd tAmimes, in this crCazy town
Havin' haDmrd tAmimes, there's no lDmove to be foAmund
[Verse 3]
AmFrom my party house I feel like meetin' others
Familiar faces, creed and race, a brCother
DmBut to my surprise I find a mCan corruptG  
AlAmthough he be my brother, he wants to hold me up
[Chorus]
Havin' haDmrd tAmimes in this crCazy town
Havin' haDmrd tAmimes, there's no lDmove to be foCund
Havin' haDmrd tAmimes, in this crCazy town
Havin' haDmrd tAmimes, there's no lDmove to be fAmound
[Bridge] (Spoken Part)
AmSo many hard times...
AmSleepin' on motel floors
FKnockin' on my brother's dAmoor
Eatin' DSpam and Oreos and drAminkin' Thunderbird babyDm  Am  
in this crCazy town
Havin' haDmrd tAmimes, there's no lDmove to be foCund
Havin' haDmrd tAmimes, in this crCazy town
Havin' haDmrd tAmimes, there's no lDmove to be fAmound
[Outro]
AmI'm sick and tired
I'm sick and tired of payin' dues baby
And I'm sick and tired of havin' so many hard, hard times baby
And from my party house, from my party house

Baby Huey & The Babysitters - Hard Times

[Verse 1]

Cold, cold eyes upon me they stare

People all around me and they're all in fear

Dm C

They don't seem to want me but they won't admit

I must be some kind of creature up here having fits

[Verse 2]

From my party house, I'm afraid to come outside

Although I'm filled with love I'm afraid they'll hurt my pride

Dm C

So I play the part I feel they want of me

And I pull the shades so I won't see them seein' me

[Chorus]

Dm Am C

Havin' hard times in this crazy town

Dm Am Dm C

Havin' hard times, there's no love to be found

Dm Am C

Havin' hard times, in this crazy town

Dm Am Dm Am

Havin' hard times, there's no love to be found

[Verse 3]

From my party house I feel like meetin' others

Familiar faces, creed and race, a brother

Dm C G

But to my surprise I find a man corrupt

Although he be my brother, he wants to hold me up

[Chorus]

Dm Am C

Havin' hard times in this crazy town

Dm Am Dm C

Havin' hard times, there's no love to be found

Dm Am C

Havin' hard times, in this crazy town

Dm Am Dm Am

Havin' hard times, there's no love to be found

[Bridge] (Spoken Part)

So many hard times...

Sleepin' on motel floors

F Am

Knockin' on my brother's door

D Am Dm Am

Eatin' Spam and Oreos and drinkin' Thunderbird baby

in this crazy town

Dm Am Dm C

Havin' hard times, there's no love to be found

Dm Am C

Havin' hard times, in this crazy town

Dm Am Dm Am

Havin' hard times, there's no love to be found

[Outro]

I'm sick and tired

I'm sick and tired of payin' dues baby

And I'm sick and tired of havin' so many hard, hard times baby

And from my party house, from my party house
