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
