[Chorus]
C G D G
The harder you work, the luckier you get
C G D
The more you get done, boy, the less you'll regret
C G D G
Write it down so you never forget
C G D G
The harder you work, the luckier you get
[Bridge]
C G D G C G D
C G D G C G D G
[Verse 1]
C G
When I turned thirteen, my old man sat me down
C G D
He said, Boy, there's only two ways out of this town
C G
A Greyhound bus that's boot camp-bound
C G D G
Or put your nose in a book and keep your ear to the ground
[Bridge]
C G D G
[Verse 2]
C G
So I set off to college, but it weren't for me
C G D
So I bought a guitar and started playin' for free
C G
Wrote a couple hundred bad ones 'til I had two or three
C G D G
That I thought were good enough folks might pay me to sing
[Chorus]
C G D G
The harder you work, the luckier you get
C G D
The more you get done, boy, the less you'll regret
C G D G
Write it down so you never forget
C G D G
The harder you work, the luckier you get
[Bridge]
C G D G
[Verse 3]
C G
I've heard far less Yes's than I have No's
C G D
Seen far less highs than I have lows
C G
I'd rather get to the top steady and slow
C G D G
Than end up there too fast with nowhere to go
[Chorus]
C G D G
The harder you work, the luckier you get
C G D
The more you get done, boy, the less you'll regret
C G D G
Write it down so you never forget
C G D
The harder you work, the luckier you get
C G D G
The harder you work, the luckier you get
C G D
The more you get done, boy, the less you'll regret
C G D G
Write it down so you never forget
C G D
The harder you work, the luckier you get
