Verse 2
D 
daddy's hands
G 
D 
break open and bleed
C 
And I've seen him work till
G 
he's stiff as a board
D 
And I've seen mother lay
G

and suffer in sickness
C 
G 
In need of a doctor we couldn't afford
C 
G 
Anything at all was more than we had in the
C 
G 
good old days when times were bad
D 
We've got up before we
G 
D 
found ice on the floor
C 
Where the wind would blew snow
G 
through the cracks in the wall
D 
And I couldn't enjoy then
G 
D 
havin' the boy friend
C 
G 
I had nothin' decent to wear at all
C 
G 
So I longed for love that I  never had in the
C 
G 
good old days when times were bad
C

No ammount of money...
