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 :)
