[Intro]

Gm  F  C  C7 (x2)


[Verse 1]

               Gm        F        
When you're so long gone, you 
           C    C7
can't help yourself
               Gm        F        
When you're so dead wrong, let 
          C    C7
alone no one else
         Gm                        
Well the children still dying in 
  F           C                   
the street, And babies still 
   C7
living with disease
        Gm                   F    
And the cops got guns, and the po 
                  C           
folk got sons who work for Mr.

[Chorus]

           Gm                  F  
And if you've come looking for 
       C            C7
hard times, hard times ain't hard to
 find
           Gm            F       
Because we're given that 
C                C7
lifeline, only once in a lifetime
            Gm    F               
Baby we was born, maybe we were 
  C    C7
born
      Gm      F                   
To be sure to endure when the 
      C    C7
storm comes


[Verse 2]

    Gm                F           
Got them sad eyes, got cat eyes, 
       C                 C7
got the angels tired from saving his
 life
              Gm            
And you could bet to contain 
     F   C                  C7
yourself before you end up killed
    Gm                   F        
Get his bare feet touchin her bare
           C                       
 feet, the air breathes sweet near 
C7
mountains peak
         Gm                    F  
And I forgot what the wise man 
  C                  C7
said about that ancient thread


[Chorus]

           Gm                  F  
And if you've come looking for 
       C            C7
hard times, hard times ain't hard to
 find
           Gm            F       
Because we're given that 
C                C7
lifeline, only once in a lifetime
            Gm    F               
Baby we was born, maybe we were 
  C    C7
born
      Gm      F                   
To be sure to endure when the 
      C    C7
storm comes
            Gm    F               
Baby we was born, maybe we were 
  C    C7
born
     Gm       F                 C
To rejoice, rejoice when it
