Verse 1: 
 D5                             G5           B5 
Well her hair was as black as Pike County coal, 
          G5                   A5           D5 
and her lips were as red as blood on the snow. 
                                      G5            B5 
She wore short vinyl skirts and them boots to her knees, 
          G5                              A5           D5 
and she lived in the holler 'cross the mountain from me. 
 
Chorus 1: 
D5                       A5  B5 
Hard Candy, you're so sweet 
                         G5 
and I could never get enough. 
        D5              A5  B5 
Hard Candy, you're so easy 
           G5 
for me to love... 
 
Verse 2: 
       D5                           G5          B5 
Wild horses couldn't keep her old man out of jail 
      G5                     A5                D5 
for bootleggin whiskey his sons helped him sale. 
                                       G5         B5 
Well growin' up in the holler wasn't nothin' by hard. 
            G5                          A5          D5 
fightin' roosters and curd(?)dogs tied up in the yard. 
 
Chorus 2: 
D5                       A5  B5 
Hard Candy, you're so sweet 
                         G5 
and I could never get enough. 
        D5              A5  B5 
Hard Candy, you're so easy 
           G5 
for me to love...

Verse 3: 
           D5                        G5            B5 
Well one night on the mountain back in the pine trees, 
       G5                         A5             D5 
Candy let down her guard -- she said she loved me. 
                                         G5           B5 
We left the holler when her old man got put back in jail 
         G5                       A5               D5 
and she told all her brothers to go straight to hell. 
 
Chorus 3: 
D5                       A5  B5 
Hard Candy, you're so sweet 
                         G5 
and I could never get enough. 
        D5              A5  B5 
Hard Candy, you're so easy 
           G5 
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 :)
