[F#m] Oh [E] [A] man, [E]
does [A] this work?
[E] Not [A] satisfied [E] not at [A] all
[E] Feels [A] like, [E] like being [A] used
Being [E] used, self [A]-respect, [E] self [A]-love
[E] This frustration, [A] [E] runs very [A] high
[E] Takes it [A] out on a [E] wanton [A] love
[E] The cows [A] say, it's [E] sad
Who they gonna [A] tell?
And it ain't nobody [E] else that's on the spot
Oh yes, [A] it's hard times
[E] For an honest man
[A] Very, very, [E] very hard times
[A] Hard times
[E] For an honest [A] man
Very, very, [E] very hard times

[A] His [E] sister, [A] [E] she's got a lot of [A] pride
[E] Still [A] wants you all [E] to know
[A]
[E] She's young, she's young, that's on the [A] way
[E] But a proof of [A] her all [E] can be used for [A]
her
[E] So she loves a man, lies like [A] a dog
[E] Tears [F#m] the little world [E] out of power
So the walls go up, for the rest of [F#m] the day
[A] This [B] [E] girl's hot, this [A] is hard times
[E] For an [A] honest man
Very, very, [E] very hard times
[A] Hard [E] times
For an honest man
[A] Very, very, [B] [E] very hard times
Hey, hey, hey, hey
So we walk, from the front porch to the backyard
Just laugh and say hello and say goodbye
But some days are [F#] hard, like [E] a soldier's spilt [A] old boots
And the rent we [E] pay to stay here gets high
This is [A] hard [E] times
For an honest [A] man
Very, [E] very, very hard times
[A] Hard times
[E] For an honest man
[A]
Very, [E] very, very hard times
