Hard Life Fast 4/4 F#m A F#m A F#m A B/B7 F#m E I was born in a sleepy little mountain town There wasn’t nothing up there wasn’t nothing going down Spent my days where the sun it never shine Down in the ground in the deep coal mine Spent my nights under a roof of tin Get up the next day and I do it all again It was a hard life but I felt fine With my pick and my shovel down in that mine It’s a hard life aint it grand Even the rock of Gibraltar gonna get ground into sand And it’s a hard life Then I spent one night under the southern sky And saw those stars in my eyes I did not like what I had to see I did not like the way they laughed at me So I went in the next day to the company store Tore up my note and I threw it on the floor Turned around and I walked out the door Cause I ain’t gonna dig that coal anymore So I got myself a job on the factory line Where the hammer and the anvil keep the marching of time And every time that pit boss blow that whistle and yell Realize I found myself just another kinda hell So now I keep on moving from town to town And there ain’t nothing that can slow me down And if they find me they can collect their debts But those sons of b**ches havn’t found me yet And it’s a hard life It’s a hard life out on the road It’s a hard life but I feel fine Cause I aint never going back in that mine And it’s a hard life It’s a hard life [Thanks to Zebulon Swift for tabs] Hard Life Fast 4/4 F#m A F#m A F#m A B/B7 F#m E I was born in a sleepy little mountain town There wasn’t nothing up there wasn’t nothing going down Spent my days where the sun it never shine Down in the ground in the deep coal mine Spent my nights under a roof of tin Get up the next day and I do it all again
It was a hard life but I felt fine With my pick and my shovel down in that mine It’s a hard life aint it grand Even the rock of Gibraltar gonna get ground into sand And it’s a hard life Then I spent one night under the southern sky And saw those stars in my eyes I did not like what I had to see I did not like the way they laughed at me So I went in the next day to the company store Tore up my note and I threw it on the floor Turned around and I walked out the door Cause I ain’t gonna dig that coal anymore So I got myself a job on the factory line Where the hammer and the anvil keep the marching of time And every time that pit boss blow that whistle and yell Realize I found myself just another kinda hell So now I keep on moving from town to town And there ain’t nothing that can slow me down And if they find me they can collect their debts But those sons of b**ches havn’t found me yet And it’s a hard life It’s a hard life out on the road It’s a hard life but I feel fine Cause I aint never going back in that mine And it’s a hard life It’s a hard life [Thanks to Zebulon Swift for tabs]
