Capo on first fret

           A5               
banks coming down
                      F5             C5
they're taking all our hard earned pay 
          G5               F5
the lord giveth, but he taketh away 
           A5
i pay our debts 
             F5             C5
but works getting hard to find 
           G5        A5  G5   F5
these are hard times

         A5
i built this house 
      F5          C5
with my own two hands 
                 G5
now their gonna take it 
           F5
and five acres of land
            A5    
and all of our children
             F5         C5
are growing up way too fast 
             G5       A5 G5 F5
in these hard times

     C5       F5
but wait, oh wait 
             G5        A5
see how the morning breaks 
          C5           F5                   G5
it's the simplest of love songs, but it's all our hearts can take 
               C5        F5
and though we lose our stake 
          G5         A5       
heaven is where we make it 
              G5        A5
even in the smallest places, 
        G5     C5
can a garden grow

         A5
i took this job 
           F5       C5
in part as a sacrifice 
               G5     
for my unborn children 
                   F5
and my beautiful wife 
              A5
i always worked hard 
                F5         C5
on all of these sad estates 
          G5       A5  G5  F5
with no hard times


     C5       F5
but wait, oh wait 
             G5        A5
see how the morning breaks 
          C5           F5                   G5
it's the simplest of love songs, but it's all our hearts can take 
               C5        F5
and though we lose our stake 
          G5         A5       
heaven is where we make it 
              G5        A5
even in the smallest places, 
        G5     C5
can a garden grow
             G5         A5
even in the smallest places,
        G5     C5
can a garden grow
