Verse 1
(D major) The Hard (A minor) Way
(D major) The hard way to get here,
the hard way to stay
(A major) The hard way to work
and the hard (D major) way to play
The hard way, the (B major) long (D major) way,
the rough way, the slow
The (A major) hard way to get here
and the old hard way to (D major) go
They tell me that I first saw light in 1844
(A major) In a wagon in the hills of Tenness (D major) ee
And my mother soon lay dead
With an (G major) arrow through her head
So it (A major) started out the old hard way for (D major) me
(B flat major) The hard (E flat major) way to get here,
the hard way to (B flat major) stay
The hard way to work
and the hard way to (E flat major) play
The hard way, the long way,
the (C major) rough way, (B flat major) the slow
The old hard way to get here
and the old hard way to (E flat major) go
I hunted possum and raccoon
to get my share of grub.
(B flat major) I (F major) fought the (B flat major) bear to
rob the honey (E flat major) bee
When I was only five
that is how I stayed alive
Everything has (B flat major) been the old hard
way for (E flat major) me. I
Never settled anywhere.
He never earned (B flat major) no pay
a bottle was his steady company.
(E flat major) I
I never learned to write,
all I (A flat major) learned to do is fight
Everything's (B flat major) been the old hard way for (E flat major) me
(B major) The (E major) hard way to get here,
the hard way to (B major) stay
The hard way to work
and the hard way to play
(E major) The hard way, the long way,
the rough way, the (B major) slow
The hard way to get here
and the old hard way to (E major) go
The bugle started blowin' back in 1861
I (B major) pulled up stakes and volunteered with (E major) Lee
I marched with old Stonewall
till I (A major) met a cannonball
Everything's (B major) been the
old hard way for (E major) me
(C major) The (F major) hard way to get here,
the hard way to stay
The (C major) hard way to work
and the hard way to (F major) play
The hard way, the long way,
the rough (C major) way, the slow
The hard way to get here
and the old hard way to (F major) go
(C major) So (F major) all good folk who come this way
and look upon this stone,
(C major) please say a prayer and
set my spirit free. (F major)
Won't you help me reach my goal,
because I'm (B flat major) down here
shoveling (G minor) coal.
Everything (C major) is still the old hard
way for (F major) me.
Everything (G minor) is still the
(C major) old hard way for (F major) me.
(G minor) Everything is still the (C major) old hard
way for me. (F major)
(B flat major) (F major)
