Standard (EADGBE)
when i was young my daddy said son never be ashamed of where your from
nothing wrong with your last name don't be looking for people to blame
cause hard times they come and they go most of the time they're in the middle of your road
same pain in different ways don't you know son when it pours it rains
Hard times in the middle of your road
hard times creeping up on the good folks you know
hard times huddling around a wood burning stove
hard times from the california hills to the cumberland road
you've had yours and i've had mine most of the good folks they try and try
make their livin on your minimum wage they're coming up short nearly everyday
what's enough what's the cost they can't stand up because all is lost
you hold us up and you doors are locked there's a poor boy living on every block
Repeat Chorus
when i was young my daddy said son never be ashamed of where your from
nothing wrong with your last name don't be looking for people to blame
cause hard times they come and they go most of the time they're in the middle of your road
same pain in different ways don't you know son when it pours it rains
and it will always be around following you from town to town
So you can get up when it knocks you down cause everybodys gottem when you look around
Repeat Chorus
