Verse:
One [D]man[G] do[D]es his work[G]
Hes [D]not sati[G]sfied not at a[D]ll[G]
Feel[D]s l[G]ike that hes b[D]eing used[G]
His [D]self respec[G]t starts t[D]o fall[G]
His [D]frus[G]trat[D]ion runs very very [G]high
He t[D]akes it out on the[G] ones he [D]loves[G]
Because [D]its safe (It's[G] safe) and who [D]they g[G]onna te[D]ll?
And he [G]hates that cold[A] bloodedness that runs[D] inside

[D]Oh yes
Its hard [G]times (hard [A]times), for an [D]honest man (honest man)
[G]Very very [A]very hard [D]times

Verse:
[D]Sister[G] (Sist[D]er),shes got a lot of pride (lotta p[G]ride)
You [D]can see i[G]t when she w[D]alks into the [G]room
But [D]shes young (She'[G]s young)and[D] shes unawar[G]e
What[D] a bruta[G]l world can do to y[D]ou[G]
So s[D]he l[G]oves[D] a man, who lies li[G]ke a dog
[D]Tears he[G]r little [D]world al[G]l apart
So [D]the wal[G]ls go up for the res[D]t of her [G]days[D]
And the[G]re ain't no man [A]can touch this [D]girls heart

[D]Oh yes
Its hard [G]times (hard [A]times), for an [D]honest man (honest man)

[G]Very very [A]very hard [D]times
Verse w/Intro
So we wa[D]lk from the [G]front porch to [D]the back yar[G]d
Just to [D]laugh and say[G] hello and say[D] goodbye[G]
But some [D]days are hard[G], like a soldi[D]ers steel-toed[G] boots[D]
And the[G] rent we pay to [A]stay here gets high[D]er
Chorus:
[D]Oh yes
Its hard [G]times (hard [A]times), for an [D]honest man (honest man)
[G]Very very [A]very hard [D]times
Hard t[G]imes (hard t[A]imes), for an h[D]onest man (honest man)
[G]Very very [A]very hard [D]times
