Chord/Tab song: Hard Times

Cold, cold eyes [Am]upon me they stare
People all around me and they[C]'re all in fear
Th[Dm]ey don't seem to want me but they won't admit
Am C-Dm Am (Listen to Recording for Timing)
I must be some kind of creature up here having fits

[Am]From my party house, I'm afraid to come outside
Although I'm filled with love I'm afraid they'[C]ll hurt my pride
So I play t[Dm]he part I feel they want of me
And I pull th[Am]e shades so I won't see them seein' me

[C]Havin' hard t[Dm]imes[Am] in this crazy town[C]
[C]Havin' hard t[Dm]imes[Am], there's no love to be foun[Dm]d[C]
H[C]avin' hard t[Dm]imes[Am], in this crazy town[C]
[C]Havin' hard t[Dm]imes[Am], there's no love to be found

[Am]From my party house I feel like meetin' others
Familiar faces, creed and race, a bro[C]ther
[Dm]But to my surprise I find a man corrupt
Alth[Am]ough he be my brother, he wants to hold me up

[C]Havin' hard t[Dm]imes i[Am]n this crazy town[C]
[C]Havin' hard ti[Dm]mes,[Am] there's no love to be found[Dm][C]
H[C]avin' hard t[Dm]imes,[Am] in this crazy town[C]
[C]Havin' hard t[Dm]imes, [Am]there's no love to be found


Am (for the entire talking part)

So many hard times...
Sleepin' on motel floors
Knockin' on my brother's door
Eatin' Spam and Oreos and drinkin' Thunderbird baby

in this crazy [C]town
[C]Havin' hard ti[Dm]mes,[Am] there's no love to be found[Dm][C]
H[C]avin' hard t[Dm]imes,[Am] in this crazy town[C]
[C]Havin' hard t[Dm]imes, [Am]there's no love to be found

(Am for the 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
