Chords for Cedric Burnside- "Hard to Stay Cool" (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Gm] _ _
Blues to me [G] is a way [Gm] of getting through hard times.
Blues came from African Americans because they lived so much of it.
It's harsh to hear, but that's where a lot of this music comes from.
It comes from deep [F] down off [Dm] in the soul, the [Gm] bowels of black people [G] _
wanting [Dm] to _ [Gm] tell [G] their story.
_ That's where it comes from.
_ That's what blues is to me.
That's what it means to me. _ _
_ That's what I like.

You know, as the world is today,
this music still exists.
It still tells a story.
It might not be as harsh as it was back in the day,
but it's still here.
