Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

F C Am Gadd4 (the Gadd4 is played only on the final downstrum)

pay my respects to the company store

 i ain't got no money, don't want no more

pay my respects to the company boys

 and just move along

 i worked hard for every little bit i got

 i got lucky once on some advice

 met a dark haired girl at the mississippi moon

 musta left by mistake one night

G[1] Gadd4 G[1] (hold)

in a hurry lord

 and that ain't the hardest part

the hardest part is lovin

[1] Gadd4 [2]

somebody that cares for you

so much [back to verse chords]

promises don't pay cash at the bank

if they did i'm bettin your word

you couldn't pay me for the time that it took to write a check

to buy a babydoll for my girl

and I worked hard for every little bit I got

the things I got are gonna stay

and it's been flooding so hard on them company mines

that you know it's gonna flood someday

and you're gonna miss someone

 and that ain't the hardest part

the hardest part is lovin

[1] Gadd4 [2]

somebody that cares for you

 no that ain't the hardest part

the hardest part is workin'

and i've worked enough

Bridge

I can stretch that penny like a silver line

rollin through the pages of my life

underneath your name where it's underlined

[guitar drops out]

i've been turned around i been mystified by

true love

[1] Gadd4 [2]

and that ain't the hardest part

 talkin bout true love

oh and that ain't the hardest part

G[1] Gadd4 G[2] x 4

Outro

 that ain't the hardest part

[ritardando (slow down)]

enjoy :)
