Verse 1
(G major) (C major) (A minor) (D major) (G major) And it's hard, (D major) hard times (G major)
Come listen a while, I'll (C major) sing you a song
About (D major) modern times,
and it won't take (G major) too long
How everybody is (C major) striving to (A minor) buy
And (D major) cheating each other,
and no one knows (G major) why
It's hard, (D major) hard times. (G major)
It's father and mother
and (C major) sister an (A minor) d brother.
Cousin (D major) and uncle is cheating each (G major) other.
The way that the cheating
is (C major) go ing on (A minor) here.
If a (D major) fellow is honest,
they think that (G major) he's queer.
It's hard, (D major) hard (G major) times.
Just notice your butcher
who (C major) sells you the meat.
If he (D major) ain't your friend,
then my (G major) friend you don't eat.
He charges you double
for (C major) what's on (A minor) his list,
And he (D major) weighs in his elbow,
his (G major) thumb, and his fist,
It's hard, (D major) hard times. (G major)
Now then, there's the merchant,
so (C major) honest we're (A minor) told,
Whatever (D major) he sells you,
my friend, (G major) you've been sold.
You'd better watch out
so he (C major) don't do (A minor) you dirt,
Or you'll (D major) leave his establishment
minus (G major) your shirt,
It's hard, (D major) hard times. (G major)
Then there's the doctor I (C major) like to (A minor) forgot
With (D major) all of his smiles
he's the (G major) worst of the lot
He'll pill you, he'll purge you
for (C major) half you (A minor) possess
And (D major) keep you half dead
so he get (G major) s all the rest
It's hard (D major) hard times (G major)
Now consider the lover
who mur (C major) murs (A minor) and sighs
He (D major) swears that he worships
your nose (G major) and your eyes
He speaks in such wonderful
col (C major) ors an (A minor) d shades,
For he's (D major) practiced so often
on (G major) other young maids.
It's hard, (D major) hard times. (G major) (C major) (D major)
(G major) (C major) (D major) (G major)
Why, isn't a fellow
who (C major) hasn't some (A minor) plan
For cheat (D major) in' the pants

of some (G major) honest man.
Would everyone turn into evil (C major) or (A minor) worst?
Per (D major) haps we had better start
cheatin' back first.
(G major) It's hard, (D major) hard times
