Verse 1
(D major) (G major) Don't talk crooked, honey,
walk the straight and narrow
My mama tried to teach
me the (D major) rules
She said: "If Jesus himself keeps
his eye upon the sparrow
Then surely he is watching you too" (G major)
Twenty- one years young,
I rolled to hell's half acre
I really got to kicking up ground (D major)
I was a mover and a shaker,
a mean heartbreaker
Now it's all coming back around (G major)
Verse 2
Tell ya it's (C major) a hard (G major) living
(D major) Broke down on the highway
Burned out in an ashtray
(C major) Hard (G major) living
(D major) Empty as a bottle
Right down to the bottom
It's (C major) a hard (G major) liv (D major) ing
Singing (F major) hallelu (C major) jah, (G major) may I introduce ya
To (F major) ex- con (C major) little old me
(G major)
Verse 3
(G major) Tangled and torn,
I was trapped like a rabbit
Thought the only crime
was getting caught (D major)
Now that I'm dressed in stripes,
me and all my bad habits
We got the time to give it some thought (G major)
Living in the past has been
a full- time occupation
I've got a thing for talking to ghosts (D major)
Never moving on can take
an awful lot of patience
And I'm a girl who's had the most (G major)
Verse 4
Tell ya it's (C major) a hard (G major) living
(D major) Broke down on the highway
Burned out in an ashtray
(C major) Hard (G major) living
(D major) Empty as a bottle
Right down to the bottom
It's (C major) a hard (G major) liv (D major) ing
Singing (F major) hallelu (C major) jah, (G major) may I introduce ya
To (F major) ex- con (C major) little old (G major) me
Singing (F major) hallelu (C major) jah, (G major) may I introduce ya
To (F major) ex- con (C major) little old me
(G major)
Verse 5
(D major) Armed robbery and a high- speed chase
The (E minor) late night TV news anchor
(C major) s loved my face
(D major) I served my time but now
the time has come
For (E minor) me to get back in my
(C major) mama's good grace
(D major)

It's (C major) a hard (G major) living

Tell ya it's (C major) a hard (G major) liv (D major) ing
Tell ya it's a (C major) hard (G major) liv (D major) ing
Tell ya it's (C major) a hard (G major) living

Burned out in an ashtray
(C major) Hard (G major) living
(D major) Empty as a bottle
Right down to the bottom
It's (C major) a hard (G major) liv (D major) ing
Singing (F major) hallelu (C major) jah, (G major) may I introduce ya
To (F major) ex- con (C major) little old (G major) me
Singing (F major) hallelu (C major) jah, (G major) may I introduce ya
To (F major) ex- con (C major) little old me
