Hard Times Chords by Gillian Welch

_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [A#m] There was a camp town _ [D#m] man [A#m] who used to [F#] plow [A#m] and _ sing _
He [G#m] loved that mule [A#m] and the mule _ loved him
_ When the day got [B] long, _ as it does [F#] about [A#m] _ now _ _
I'd [B] hear him singing to [A#] his _
_ [F#] [C#] muley _ cow _ _
_ _ Calling, come _ on my sweet old girl _ _ _
_ _ I'd bet the [F#] whole [C#] damn _ world _ _
[F#] _ [C#] That we're gonna [B] _
make it, [C#] yeah
_ [A#m] Till the end of [B] the road _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[A#m] Singing hard _ [G#m] times ain't [A#m] gonna [F#] rule my [C#] _
[A#m] mind
_ Hard _ [G#m] times [D#m]
ain't [A#m] gonna [F#] rule my [C#] _ mind
_ [A#m] Hard _ _ [G#m] times ain't [F#] gonna _ rule _ _ _ [C#] my [B] _ mind _ _ _
_ [C#] No more, _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ he [A#m] said it's a mean old [G#] world
[F#] _
_ Heavy [C#] in the heat
_ [A#m] _ That big [D#] [G#] machine is [C#] just a-picking up _ speed
[A#m] And we're supping on [D#m] tea [G#m] and [C#] we're supping [F#] on [A#m] _ wine
_ We all get [D#m] to [F#] heaven in our own sweet [C#] _ _
time
_ _ _ So come on you _ Asheville _ _ boys
And _ _ _ _ turn up your _ damn _ noise
And _ _ _ kick [G#m] till the dust [C#] comes up _
From [A#m] the cracks [F#] [G#] in the floor
_ _ _ _ Singing _ [C#] _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [A#m] _ _ hard _ [G#m] times ain't [F#] gonna rule [C#] my mind
[A#m] Brother, hard _ [D#] times [G#] ain't [C#] gonna [F#] [C#] rule my _ _ mind
_ [A#m] Hard _ [G#m] times ain't [F#] gonna _ _ rule _ _ [G#] my _ mind
[C#] _ _ [G#] _ [C#] No _ more, _ but _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A#m] _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ the camp town [G#] man
[C#] He doesn't [D#m] plow no [A#m] more
_ _ _ I seen [C] him walking [B] down [F#] to the cigarette _ [C#] store
_ [A#m] Guess he lost that [G#] bag _ [F#] and he forgot that [A#m] song
_ _ _ Woke up [D#m] one morning [F#] and the _ muse [C#] was gone
_ So _ _ come _ on you _ ragtime _ kings _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [C#] Come on you dogs and _ sing _ _ _
_ _ Pick _ [G#m] up your dusty [C#] old horn
_ [F#] And give it [G#] a blow _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ [A#m] Playing _ hard times _ [C] [F#] ain't gonna rule [C#] my _ mind
Hard [A#m] _ _ _ times _ [F#] ain't gonna [C#] rule my _ mind
Shit, [A#m] _ hard _ [G#]
times [D#m] ain't [F#] gonna _ rule _ _ _ my [G#] _ mind _
_ _ No [C#] more _ _ _
