This is how I learned the song many years ago. I'm not sure about the words
exactly, but it's how I sing it and nobody seems to know the difference. Anyway,
it's a cool song and pretty easy to play.
If never I'[Dm]d met you
I'd never have [C]to see you cry
If not for the [Dm]first hel[Em]lo, I'd [F]never have t[G]o say go[C]odbye
If never I'[Dm]d held you
My feelings would [C]never show
It's time I star[Dm]t walking[Em], Girl there[F]'s so much that you[G]'ll [C]never know
I keep telling you
[F]Hard [Em]luck [Dm]woman
You're [F]a har[Em]d luc[Dm]k woman
[C]Red, a Sailor's onl[Dm]y daughter
A child of the [F]water
Too [G]proud to be a [C]Queen
DM----F--G <---COOL LITTLE FILLER/PAUSE
[C]Red, I really love you I [Dm]can't forget about you
You'll be [F]a har[Em]d luc[Dm]k woman
[F]Baby 'til yo[G]u find [C]a man
Before I go let me [DM]kiss you
And wipe the tears [C]from your eye
I don't want t[Dm]o hurt you[Em], girl
You [F]know that I could [G]never [C]lie
I keep telling you
[F]Hard [Em]luck [Dm]woman
You're a [F]hard [Em]luck [Dm]woman
You'll be a [F]hard [E]luck [Dm]woman
[F]Baby 'til [G]find a [C]man
Dm----F--G
[C]Red, a Sailor's onl[Dm]y daughter
A child of the [F]water
Too [G]proud to be a [C]Queen

[C]Red, I really love you I [Dm]can't forget about you
You'll be [F]a har[Em]d luc[Dm]k woman
[F]Baby 'til yo[G]u find [C]a man
