[G] [D] I'm calling the shadows, the [A] American South, somewhere [D] between [A] hypocrite and [G] hallelujah.

_ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ I'm calling the shadows, the [A] American South, somewhere [D] between [A] hypocrite and _ [G] _ hallelujah.
[A] _
[D] Six [A] generations, _ barely getting by, six generations of hey, what's it [G] to ya?
[D] When the only thing harder than [G] the work is the [A] luck, [D] the outcome's as hopeful as the
[G] evening [A] news.
And [D] last November, [G] I saw [A] firsthand [D] what desperation makes good [A] people do.
_ [G] _ Life [A] ain't fair, saddle [D] up more and see it [G] through.
_ _ _ Tough times [A] don't last, tough folks [D] do. _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [D] See, I come from a [A] long line of Carolina _ farmers.
Three [D] years back was the _ [A] answer.
It [D] kept the lights on and put food on [A] the table, and the doctors [D] started calling it _
[A] cancer.
[D] So we took to the hills [G] of the Blue Ridge [A] Mountains, the [D] hardest of [A] corn, _ copper, and lime,
and [D] we found you can get [G] a little slice of [A] heaven in [D] some streets you walk around a [G] whole lot of [A] _
times.
[G] _ Life [A] ain't fair, _ [D] saddle up more and see it [G] through.
_ _ _ Tough times don't [A] last, all the tough folks [D] do. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _
Where I'm from, [A] _ man's only _
[G] worth the weight of his [D] _ word, and _ [Bm] _ respect [A] ain't handed out in [D] turn. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ I've been running [A] with my back to the [G] wall for 17 _ [D] years now, _ [F#m] _
and if there's [G] one thing that _ [A]
I've learned, _ _ _ _
it's [G] _ life [A] ain't fair, saddle [D] up more and [A] see it [G] through.
_ _ _ Tough times don't [A]
last, all the tough folks [D] do. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ Life [A] ain't fair, _ saddle [D] up, saddle _ [A] _
up.
_ [G] _ _ Life [A] ain't fair, _ saddle [D] up, _ saddle [G] up. _ _ _ _
Life ain't [A] fair, _ saddle [D] up more and see it [G] through. _ _ _
Tough times don't [A] last, all the tough folks [Bm] do. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] Tough times don't last, all the tough folks do. _ _ _
