tabbed by: CYGUITARS capo on 2nd fret, standard tuning. Enjoy! C5 F5 C5 While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay, G5 C5 There are frail forms fainting at the door. C5 F5 C5 Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say, G5 C5 Oh, hard times, come again no more. C5 F5 C5 There's the song, the sigh of the weary. G5 C5 Hard times, hard times, come again no more. C5 F5 C5 Many days you have lingered on around my cabin door. G5 C5 Oh, hard times, come again no more. [Verse 1] C5 He was an Odessa boy with a daddy in the money F5 he played for Mojo back in the boom G5 F5 drove a Corvette took what he wanted from people A5 they learned to give him lots of room [Chorus] C5 Well he never learned to work F5 but that never really mattered G5 because the dark crude flowed A5 the wild oats scattered C5 the dark, crude, it flowed G5 He fought, he flattered F5 and he got what he wanted A5 it was the only thing that mattered [Verse 2] Well life was easy and the big jacks pumped pooring cash from the permian field There were cabinets full of high grade scotch garage, full of high speed steel [Chorus] [Verse 3] Then he killed a girl when he rolled the Corvette Daddy's money made the lawyers go away his mother bought vodka with all that cash she kind of knew, yeah she kind of knew Well he's an old man now lives on his dead Daddy's place never took a wife, gunna die without a trace you see he loved the girl who was pinned in the 'vette he talkes to her everyday her face face was blood and diamonds he remembers her, that way. [Chorus] [Outro](same chords as Intro) There's a pale droopy maiden who toiled her life away With a worn heart, whose better days are o'er. Though her voice it would be merry, 'tis sighin' all the day, Oh, hard times, come again no more.
