Tom Russell Chords


HALLIE LONNIGAN
Tom Russell

(C) My name is Hallie Lonnigan, I married Walter (F) Jones
For (C) better or for worse, so said the Reverend Doctor (Am) Stone
But the (F) better times are (C) all used up and the worst times took con-(G)-trol
Then (Am) drinkin took my (F) Walter, may the (Bb) Lord protect his (F) soul

A-(C)-lone with two young kids to raise out on the western (F) plain
My (C) children harmonized with wolves and sang just like the (Am) rain
But (F) haulin hay and (C) water were the desperate daily (G) facts
And the (Am) years have carved their (F) memories in the (Bb) muscles of my (F) back, yeah, (G) yeah

Chorus
Hallie (Am) Lonnigan will tell these (G) truths to (F) you
Hard (C) times the only times I ever (G) knew
Hard (E) lucks the only horse I (E7) ever (Am) drew
Hard (F) works the only (G) way I made it (C) through

(C) Then I married for convenience sake a trader from in (F) town
A (C) blacksmith name of Charlie Hawk whod court me on his (Am) rounds
But hed (F) paw me like a (C) wolverine and theres cheatin in his (G) blood
He (Am) fell upon my (F) butcher knife and (Bb) crawled off through the (F) mud

Well (C) no one was the wiser when old Charlie disap-(F)-peared
And (C) me and them poor children never shed one single (Am) tear
We can (F) run this place (C) on our own, dont need no drunks or (G) cheats
And the (Am) men they step a-(F)-side now when I (Bb) walk down Market (F) Street, yeah, (G) yeah

Chorus
Alright
Solo: Follow pattern of Chorus

(C) This land was conquered by brave men, your history books will (F) say
Proud (C) men upon fast horses drove the Indian a-(Am)-way
My (F) name is Hallie (C) Lonnigan; Ill have you all to (G) know
That the (Am) secret of your (F) historys in a (Bb) workin womans (F) soul, yeah, (G) yeah

Chorus
Hard (F) works the only (G) way I made it (C) through
