These chords can be played in full, but it sounds most like the recording when you
mute the E strings.
Listen to the recording for the strum pattern and the pull offs, hammer ons and
slides done during chord transitions.

~(intro)~
Gm , F , C , C7 (x2)
~(verse 1)~
When you're so long gone, you can't help yourself
[Gm] [F] [C] [C7] 
When you're so dead wrong, let alone no one else
[Gm] [F] [C] [C7] 
Well the children still dying in the street, And babies still living with disease
[Gm] [F] [C] [C7] 
And the cops got guns, and the po folk got sons who work for Mr. Franklin every week
[Gm] [F] [C] [C7] 
~(chorus)~
And if you've come looking for hard times, hard times ain't hard to find
[Gm] [F] [C] [C7] 
Because we're given that lifeline, only once in a lifetime
[Gm] [F] [C] [C7] 
Baby we was born, maybe we were born
[Gm] [F] [C] [C7] 
To be sure to endure when the storm comes
[Gm] [F] [C] [C7] 
~(verse 2)~
Got them sad eyes, got cat eyes, got the angels tired from saving his life
[Gm] [F] [C] [C7] 
And you could bet to contain yourself before you end up killed
[Gm] [F] [C] [C7] 
Get his bare feet touchin her bare feet, the air breathes sweet near mountains peak
[Gm] [F] [C] [C7] 
And I forgot what the wise man said about that ancient thread
[Gm] [F] [C] [C7] 
~(chorus)~
And if you've come looking for hard times, hard times ain't hard to find
[Gm] [F] [C] [C7] 
Because we're given that lifeline, only once in a lifetime
[Gm] [F] [C] [C7] 
Baby we was born, maybe we were born
[Gm] [F] [C] [C7] 
To be sure to endure when the storm comes
[Gm] [F] [C] [C7] 
Baby we was born, maybe we were born
[Gm] [F] [C] [C7] 
To rejoice, rejoice when it succumbs
[Gm] [F] [C] [C7] 
~(outro)~
Gm , F , C , C7 (x6) ~fading out~
