This is how I learned the song many years ago. I'm not sure about the words
exactly, but it's how I sing it and nobody seems to know the difference. Anyway,
it's a cool song and pretty easy to play.

Hard Luck Woman

             Dm
If never I?d met you
                 C   
I?d never have to see you cry
               Dm       Em        F           G       C
If not for the first hello, I?d never have to say goodbye
             Dm
If never I?d held you
                  C
My feelings would never show
                  Dm       Em           F                   G     C
It?s time I start walking, Girl there?s so much that you?ll never know

I keep telling you 

F    Em   Dm
Hard luck woman
         F    Em   Dm
You?re a hard luck woman

C                    Dm
Red, a Sailor?s only daughter
               F
A child of the water
    G             C
Too proud to be a Queen
