    I 
    had 

    a man, 

    he 
    beat 
    me 
    every 
    night 

    Twice 
    in 
    the mornin' 
    pad 

    To 
    make 
    sure 
    he got 
    it right 

    He 
    came 
    a 
    -down, 

    said 
    he bought 
    too 
    low 

    Put 
    roller 
    skates 
    on 
    old 

    granny's 
    crutches 

    Cause 
    she 
    was 
    movin' 
    too 
    slow 
    I've 
    had 
    hard 
    knocks, 

    hard 
    rocks, 
    hard 
    shifts 

    And it's 
    been 
    hard 
    to 
    see 

    I've 
    had 
    hard 
    work, 
    hard 
    livin' 

    And 
    hard 
    luck 
    hard 
    after 
    me 

    I've 
    had 
    hard 
    books, 
    hard 
    looks 

    And 
    real 
    collectors 
    hard 
    on 
    my be
    half 

    But 
    you 
    ain't 
    never 
    had 
    it 
    hard 

    Till 
    you 
    had 
    the 
    heart 
    of 
    hard 
    times 


    One 
    guy 
    I had 
    run 
    around 
    with 
    women 

    Gays 
    and 
    not -so 
    -hap
    pies, 

    He 
    brought 
    me home 
    to 
    her 
    past 

    Said, 
    this 
    is a 
    gift 
    from 
    me to 
    you 

    He 
    liked 
    his 
    lov
    in' 
    often, 

    when 
    it came 
    it 
    didn't 
    mat
    ter 

    He 
    made 
    me 
    get up 
    on 
    the table, 

    said 
    he wanted 
    served 
    up 
    on 
    a plat
    ter 

    I've 
    had 
    it 
    on 
    hard 
    rocks, 
    hard 
    seats, 

    hard 
    beds 
    and hardwood 
    floors 

    I've 
    had 
    hard 
    lovin', 
    hard 
    heads, 

    while 
    havin' 
    hard 
    time 

    I've 
    had 
    hard, 
    hard, 
    heartaches, 

    and 
    right 
    now 
    I'm 
    not 
    doin' 
    too 
    fine 

    Cause 
    the 
    hardest 
    thing 
    I'm 
    gettin' 
    right 
    now, 

    is 
    hard 
    times 

    Girl, 
    ain't 
    get
    tin' nothin' 
    hard these 
    days, 

    y 
    'all 

    That 
    is, 
    nothin' 
    but time 


    I've 
    had 
    hard 
    nights, 

    hard 
    rocks, 
    hard 
    shifts 

    And it's 
    been 
    hard 
    to 
    see 

    I've 
    had 
    hard 
    work, 

    hard livin' 
    and 
    hard 
    luck 

    Hard 
    after 
    me 

    I've 
    had 
    hard 
    books, 

    hard 
    looks 
    and 
    bill 
    collectors 

    Hard 
    on 
    my 
    be
    hind 

    But 
    the 
    hardest 
    thing 
    I'm 
    gettin' 
    right 
    now 

    Is 
    hard 
    times 

    I've 
    had 
    hard 
    backs, 
    hard 
    smacks, 

    and 
    right 
    now 
    I'm 
    getting 
    a 
    hard 
    beating 
    too 

    I've 
    had 
    hard 
    walls, 

    hard 
    falls 
    I'm 
    not 
    getting 
    anything 
    hard 
    from 
    you 

    I've 
    had 
    it 
    hard 
    all 
    my 
    life 

    I've 
    had 
    hard 
    mattresses, 
    hard 
    taxes, 
    yeah, 

    I've 
    had 
    hard 
    times, 
    all 
    the 
    time, 
    I've 
    had 

    hard 
    times, 
    most 
    of the 
    time.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
