[C]Well I am a [G]good mid[D]western [G]boy, I give an [C]honest day's [G]work when
I can[D] get it. I don't[C] cheat on my[G] taxes, I don't[D] cheat on my
[Em]girl. I've got [C]values that would [G]make the [D]White House jealous.
Well [C]I do get [G]a little muc[D]h over [G]impressed 'til I think o[C]f Peter
and [G]Paul and the [D]apostles. I don't [C]stack up too [G]well against
[D]them I [Em]guess. But by the [C]standards 'round [G]here I ain't [D]doin'
that awful.
Lord it's [C]hard to [G]turn the [D]other [G]cheek, hard to [C]bless when [G]others
[D]curse you. Lord it' [C]hard to [G]be a [D]man of [Em]peace. Lord it's [G]hard,
it's [D]hard, it's [C]hard to [D]be like [G]Jesus. (2x)
And it's [C]hard to [G]step out [D]on them [G]waves hard to [C]walk be[G]yond your
[D]vision. Lord it's [C]hard to [G]be a [D]man of [Em]faith. Lord it's [G]hard,
it's [D]hard, it's [C]hard to [D]be like [G]Jesus. (2x)
Well His [D]eye is on the [Em]sparrow and the [G]lilies of the field I've
[C]heard and He will [F]watch over [C]you and He will [F]watch over [C]me so we
can [D]dress like flowers and [A]eat like [D]birds.
And it's [C]hard when your [G]soul has [D]been stripped [G]bare. It's hard
to [C]lift your [G]eyes towards [D]Heaven. Lord it's [C]hard to [G]be a [D]man of
[Em]prayer. Lord it's [G]hard, it's [D]hard, it's [C]hard to [D]be like [G]Jesus...
