Hard Times - Tyler Childers
https://youtu.be/1Lwzn5nLRPw
Drop-D tuning - No Capo
[Intro]
D G C G D
D G C G D
[Verse]
D
I bought a house
C
At the mouth of the holler
G
A ring at the pawn shop
F D
And a crib for the kid
D
I heard some word
C
There was work up in Hindman
G
I'm going tomorrow
F D
And hope that there is
[Verse]
D
My sweat and my wages
C
They don't seem to weigh out
G
I'm gettin' more aches
F D
Than I'm gainin' in gold
D
Whoever said
C
You could raise you a family
G
Just a'workin' your tail off
F D
Knee deep in coal
[Instrumental Break]
D G C G D
D G C G D
[Verse]
D
Well the sign at the church
C
Says I'll reap what I'm sowin'
G
But I ain't lost sleep
F D
It'll come in due time
D
If the Lord wants to take me
C
I'm here for the taking
G
Cause hell's probably better
F D
Than tryin' to get by
[Instrumental Break]
D G C G D
D G C G D
[Verse]
D
You can see me on front page
C
It'll be out tomorrow
G
A boy in his twenties
F D
Shot down in his prime
D
For trying to hold up
C
A Texaco station
G
They'll say I was despereate
F D
They're probably right
[Instrumental Break]
D G C G D
D G C G D
[Verse]
