    Something New Under the...

"I've been having some hard times... all my life
I hope things change...pretty soon"

C                             Ab               F                
Hard Luck and Bad News... has followed me from town to town
Bb             F#                D               F#     G     
All my life my lucks been down...I'm gettin' so weary
C                               Ab                    F
I don't have one friend...Folks turn their backs when I'm around
    Bb                F#                 D                 F#    G    
And where I walk..the grass turns brown...No one will come near me
A             F#7        A             F#7 
Hard Luck and Bad News...Hard Luck and Bad news
B           E                   A  D7  F
If you were in my shoes...you'd die

C                            Ab            F                
My life's been lonely...I've never heard a kindly word
Bb            F#                  D               F#    G   
Ugly names is all I've heard and mean is how they treat me
C                              Ab         F                
Nobody trusts me... they blame me for the fires in town
     Bb                 F#                   D                  F#    G     
They claim that hell is where I'm bound..and pray that God will speed me

A             F#7        A             F#7    
Hard Luck and Bad News...Hard Luck and Bad news
B           E                   A  D7  F
If you were in my shoes...you'd die

 C             F              C             G  A   B  G

C                             Ab                 F           
Life's not worth living... my sorrow's more than I can say
Bb              F#              D               F#    G    
Tomorrow's just another day...I hate to see the sun rise
C                             Ab            F                  
Then maybe some... day...I'll find a man to call a friend
     Bb              F#             D               F#     G     
I'll be his friend until the end in loneliness...my heart cries
A             F#7        A             F#7 
Hard Luck and Bad News...Hard Luck and Bad news
B           E                   A
If you were in my shoes...you'd die
A             F#7        A             F#7 
Hard Luck and Bad News...Hard Luck and Bad news
B           E                    A
If you were in my shoes...you'd die
