Tracy Grammer - Hard To Make It
## NOTE:   G    G/F   G/Eis a Bass walk-down on the E-string ##
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: D  
Lonesome stranger, won't you Gshare my Dbed
The Gsidewalk Dsiren at the Asus2bus stop Dsaid
Love is a tear in a Gsalty Dbay
And it's Ghard to Dmake it in this Asus2world toDday
GLove is a river, but the G/Friver run G/Edry
And the Dclouds blow bitter in a bone-yard sky
GFlesh dries up and it G/Fburns aG/Eway
And you Dcan't remember where your heart once lay
And it's hard to make it in this Asus2world toDday
Dandy Don, he's a Gvelvet Dhand
He's my Gsilent Dpartner, he's the Asus2inside Dman
Holds me shaking through the Gshotgun Ddawn
And he Gkeeps me Dwalking down this Asus2road I'm Don
GKeeps me running when he G/Fcalls my G/Ename
DHe shines the light, but he kills the flame
GStones me simple when I G/Ftry to G/Espeak
And he Dbruise my face, but he kiss my cheek
And it's hard to make it when you Asus2get this Dweak
INSTRUMENTAL:   D    G    D    G    D    Asus2    D(2x)
DOne of these mornings, gonna Gspread my Dwings
Like a Gred-ass Drobin at the Asus2gates of Dspring
Rise up singing on a Gcyclone Dwind
'Til the Gwalls of this Dcity come Asus2tumbling Din
GWalls of this city come G/Ftumbling, G/Erumbling
D'Round my head like an old man stumbling
GI don't care if the G/Fmountains G/Efall
There's a Dlittle blue egg in the middle of this all
And it's hard to make it when you Asus2feel so Dsmall
DBus pulled up and I Gclimbed inDside
I Gsat in the Dwindow and I Asus2waved goodDbye
She stood staring at the Gblue maDchine
Singing, "GNobody Dknows the Asus2trouble I've Dseen"
GNobody cares and G/Fnobody G/Eknows
Only Dweeds remember where your headstone grows
And it's Gdust to ashes and G/Fwings to G/Eclay
And I Dcheck my wallet as we pull away
'Cause it's hard to make it in this Asus2world toDday
