The Hard Way
D
The hard way to get here,
the hard way to stay
A
The hard way to work
D
and the hard way to play
B
D
The hard way, the long way,
the rough way, the slow
A
The hard way to get here
D
and the old hard way to go
They tell me that I first saw light in 1844
A
D
In a wagon in the hills of Tennessee
And my mother soon lay dead
G
With an arrow through her head
A
D
So it started out the old hard way for me
Bb
Eb
The hard way to get here,
Bb
the hard way to stay
The hard way to work
Eb
and the hard way to play
The hard way, the long way,
C
Bb
the rough way, the slow
The old hard way to get here
Eb
and the old hard way to go
I hunted possum and raccoon
to get my share of grub.
Bb
F
Bb
I fought the bear to
Eb
rob the honeybee
When I was only five
that is how I stayed alive
Bb
Everything has been the old hard
Eb
way for me. I
Never settled anywhere.
Bb
He never earned no pay
a bottle was his steady company.
Eb
I
I never learned to write,
Ab
all I learned to do is fight
Bb
Eb
Everything's been the old hard way for me
B
E
The hard way to get here,
B
the hard way to stay
The hard way to work
and the hard way to play
E
The hard way, the long way,
B
the rough way, the slow
The hard way to get here
E
and the old hard way to go
The bugle started blowin' back in 1861
B

I pulled up stakes and volunteered with Lee
I marched with old Stonewall
A
till I met a cannonball
B
Everything's been the
E
old hard way for me
C
F
The hard way to get here,
the hard way to stay
C
The hard way to work
F
and the hard way to play
The hard way, the long way,

the rough way, the slow
The hard way to get here
F
and the old hard way to go
C
F
So all good folk who come this way
and look upon this stone,
C
please say a prayer and
F
set my spirit free.
Won't you help me reach my goal,
Bb
because I'm down here
Gm
shoveling coal.
C
Everything is still the old hard
F
way for me.
Gm
Everything is still the
C
F
old hard way for me.
Gm
C
Everything is still the old hard
F
way for me.
