Hard Times Gillian Welch
Intro]
[G] [G/F#]
[Verse 1]
There was a [Em7]Camptown m[D]an, used to p[C]low and s[G]ing
[Em7]He loved that [D]mule and the [C]mule loved [G]him
When the [Em7]day got [D]long as it [C]does about [G]now
[Em7]I'd hear him s[D]inging to his [C]muley-[G]cow[Gsus]
[G]Calling, "Come on my [Gsus]sweet old [G]girl[Gsus]
[G]I'd bet the [Gsus]whole damn [G]world[Gsus]
[G]We're gonna [D]make it [G]yet to the [C]end of the [D]row"
[Cborus]
Singing "[Em7]Hard times[D] ain't gonna[C] rule my [G]mind
[Em7]Hard times [D]ain't gonna [C]rule my m[G]ind, Bessie
[Em7]Hard times [D]ain't gonna [C]rule my [D]mind no more[G]"
[Cborus-to-Verse Interlude]
[G] [G/F#]
[Verse 2]
Said it's a [Em7]mean old [D]world, [C]heavy in [G]need
[Em7]That big mach[D]ine is just [C]picking up [G]speed
They were [Em7]supping on [D]tears, they were [C]supping on [G]wine
[Em7]We all get to [D]heaven in our [C]own sweet [G]time[Gsus]
[G]So come all you [Gsus]Asheville [G]boys [Gsus]
and t[G]urn up your [Gsus]old-time n[G]oise[Gsus]
And [G]kick 'til the [D]dust comes [G]up from the [C]cracks in the [D]floor
[Cborus]
Singing "[Em7]Hard times [D]ain't gonna [C]rule my m[G]ind, brother
[Em7]Hard times [D]ain't gonna [C]rule my m[G]ind
[Em7]Hard times [D]ain't gonna [C]rule my [D]mind no more[G]"
[Verse 3]
But the [Em7]Camptown [D]man, he doesn't [C]plow no m[G]ore
[Em7]I seen him w[D]alking down to the [C]superette s[G]tore
Guess he [Em7]lost that [D]nag and he for[C]got that [G]song
[Em7]Woke up one m[D]orning and the [C]mule was [G]gone[Gsus]
[G]So come on, you [Gsus]ragtime [G]kings[Gsus]
And c[G]ome on, you [Gsus]dogs, and [G]sing[Gsus]
And [G]pick up the d[D]usty old [G]horn and [C]give it a [D]blow
[Cborus]
Playing "[Em7]Hard times [D]ain't gonna [C]rule my [G]mind, honey
[Em7]Hard times [D]ain't gonna [C]rule my m[G]ind, sugar
[Em7]Hard times [D]ain't gonna [C]rule my [D]mind no more[G]" [Gsus] [G]
