                                                  *(only played by the bass)
E    Abm      A Abm A  Abm      (C#m)*        E            
Hard times as we go we know what times will change
E  Abm      A Abm   A Abm    (C#m)* E    
I talked to Jesus, Jesus says I’m okay

E  Abm     A Abm    A  Abm    (C#m)*    E 
Pushin and jumpin, jumpin the mountain range
E   Abm  A Abm      A  Abm      (C#m)*    E 
And in a railroad, railroad from Hell to Maine

A-B B-A A-B B-A (slide from A to B and vice versa)

E
While she says she’s on her own

A-B B-A A-B B-A

E
I’ll be pacin on the phone

A-B B-A A-B B-A

E
Sneakin on the train come back

E
Awful sick and tired of the gang

(repeat intro)

E    Abm        A Abm   A Abm     (C#m)*     E   
She comes from nothing hopin for a taste of fame
E     Abm    A   Abm     A  Abm      (C#m)*     E   
She’s got a birthmark a birthmark the shape of Maine

A-B B-A A-B B-A

E
While she says she’s on her own

A-B B-A A-B B-A

E
I’ll be pacin on the phone

A-B B-A A-B B-A

E
Sneakin on the train come back

E
Awful sick and tired of the gang

(repeat intro)

          E            Abm            A      
And it’s cold and it’s cold and it’s cold 
            Abm     A              Abm     (C#m)* E      
when you’re near. Cold when you’re near any bottle
 E            Abm            A               Abm
cold and it’s cold and it’s cold when you’re near
 A                Abm    (C#m)* E
Cold when you’re near any bottle

(repeat intro)
Hard times as we go we know where times will change
I talk to Jesus, Jesus everyday.
