Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
I (D major) (G major) left (D major) (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major) my
home in Harlan (C major) County
Headed (D major) for the lights of town (G major)
I said I'd be back in a (C major) Cadillac
But (D major) all I ever found (G major) was
Lots of hard luck and (C major) misery
Trouble (D major) keeps on a (G major) -talking me
There ain't no future I (C major) can see
Just hard (D major) luck and (G major) misery (C major) (D major) (G major)
I heard it was a rainin' (C major) dollar bills
Right (D major) out of the sky they (G major) drifted
So I climbed way up on the (C major) highest hill
But the (D major) doggone wind had shif (G major) ted
That's my hard luck and (C major) misery
Trouble (D major) keeps on a (G major) -doublin' me
There ain't no future I (C major) can see
Just hard (D major) luck and (G major) misery (C major) (D major) (G major)
One day I got in a (C major) poker game
Played (D major) just like my daddy taught (G major) me
Now it's hard to be a (C major) man that'll cheat
But (D major) as you can see, they caught (G major) me
That's my hard luck and (C major) misery
Trouble (D major) keeps on a (G major) -doggin' me
There ain't no future I (C major) can see
Just hard (D major) luck and (G major) misery (C major) (D major)
(G major) I sailed away on a (C major) big steamship
But I (D major) fell overboard one Sunday (G major)
So I swam forty miles to a (C major) tropical isle
They're (D major) blowin' it up on Monday (G major)
That's my hard luck and (C major) misery
Trouble (D major) keeps on a (G major) -doggin' me
There ain't no future I (C major) can see
Just hard (D major) luck and (G major) misery,
hard (D major) luck and (G major) misery
