Verse 1: 
 D                             G           Bm 
Well her hair was as black as Pike County coal, 
          G                   A           D 
and her lips were as red as blood on the snow. 
                                      G            Bm 
She wore short vinyl skirts and them boots to her knees, 
          G                              A           D 
and she lived in the holler 'cross the mountain from me. 
 
Chorus 1: 
D                       A  Bm 
Hard Candy, you're so sweet 
                         G 
and I could never get enough. 
        D              A  Bm 
Hard Candy, you're so easy 
           G 
for me to love... 
 
Verse 2: 
       D                           G          Bm 
Wild horses couldn't keep her old man out of jail 
      G                     A                D 
for bootleggin whiskey his sons helped him sale. 
                                       G         Bm 
Well growin' up in the holler wasn't nothin' by hard. 
            G                          A          D 
fightin' roosters and curd(?)dogs tied up in the yard. 
 
Chorus 2: 
D                       A  Bm 
Hard Candy, you're so sweet 
                         G 
and I could never get enough. 
        D              A  Bm 
Hard Candy, you're so easy 
           G 
for me to love...

Verse 3: 
           D                        G            Bm 
Well one night on the mountain back in the pine trees, 
       G                         A             D 
Candy let down her guard -- she said she loved me. 
                                         G           Bm 
We left the holler when her old man got put back in jail 
         G                       A               D 
and she told all her brothers to go straight to hell. 
 
Chorus 3: 
D                       A  Bm 
Hard Candy, you're so sweet 
                         G 
and I could never get enough. 
        D              A  Bm 
Hard Candy, you're so easy 
           G 
for me to love...

To do the hammer you hear during the D, just with your 1st finger 
on the 3rd string as you are strumming. 
enjoy :)
