_ _ I remember not so very long ago we were on our way to the Blue Saloon in Old St.
[D] Paul.
It was a particularly hot summer's day.
[A] _ Cruising along that prairie highway, [E] my driver said I'm feeling rough.
I said, well then that's [A] enough, and we decided to make a stop along the way. _
Our lead was fine and dandy and a hotel would be handy, with a bar where we could wash our best away.
[D] Our adventure began in [Bm] a town called [A]
Estevan where the rednecks are rowdy night and day.
My [E] crew looked so damn frazzled that the townsfolk went [A] dazzled and my band thought it safer [G] on [Cm] stage.

[D] It still ain't easy.

[A] still ain't easy. _ _ _
[E] It still ain't easy brother toughened up [A] along the way. _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] It still ain't easy. _ _ _
[A] _ Still _ [F#m] ain't easy.
[E] Still ain't easy but now I know why life [A] is that way.

Where we booked ourselves in was not the Hotel Mandarin and had decor by Maki de Halloween.
[D] From the twinkling of a star we all went straightway to [G] the bar [A] and the bartender suggested we sit in. _
[E] But when the liquor was exhausted and to avoid being [Em]
[A] accosted, we hit the stage and let our tunes begin. _
We rocked those redneck loonies and their little baroon floozies with our lowdown Delta blues.
[D] I sang taking care of business, then can I get a [G] witness?
[A] That ain't nobody's business what I do.
[E] Cause whenever I arrive, be it a palace or a dive, [A] I just shoot them from the roof of my [C] blues.

You know it's been twenty years since I first sang It Ain't Easy.
_ _ And through countless gigs from then till now, I can truly say it still ain't easy. _
_ _ But there's a difference, oh yes, for now I know I like it that way. _ _ _ _
