Hard Times Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

 So Dthese these are the Ahard times

 The Gones we've been hearing aAbout

 And Dlike in "a streetcar named deAsire"

 We're Gstruggling to work it Aout

Verse

And these, these are the lean times

The ones we never thought that we'd see

And it's just like in "the grapes of wrath"

Except it's happening to you and me

Chorus

 And it Gfeels like I'm standing out-Dside of myself

 As we Cact out our desperate Dscenes

 Like Gwatching an old-time Dblack and white movie

CStarring you and Dme

 And the Gfeelings are so intensely Dreal

 That they Cdon't seem real at Dall

GI can't bear to Dsee your pain

 Or to Cwatch your teardrops Dfall

Verse

They say they say of these hard times

They kill you or they make you strong

And like in "city for conquest"

I'm wondering what went wrong

Verse

As we go through these hard times

I can't get past my disbelief

That this isn't really a very bad dream

And soon I'll wake to see

Verse

The end, the end of these hard times

Every movie's got to end

As it fades to black and the curtains close

To reality again
