C
Some kids born with a silver spoon
C7
I guess that I was born a little too soon
F C
Hard knocks all I ever knew was hard knocks
G7
And I'm telling you I said you'd better beware
F C
Cause I've had my share (hard knocks)
[Verse 2]
Some kids born as rich as a king
C7
But I was born without a doggone thing
F C
Hard knocks all I ever knew was hard knocks
G7
And I'm telling you I said you'd better beware
F C
Cause I've had my share (hard knocks)
[Chorus]
F
I walked a million miles I bet
C
Tired and hungry and cold and wet
F
I heard that lonesome whistle blow
D7 G7
From New York City down to Mexico
[Verse 3]
C
Some kids born fancy free
C7
Nobody never gave nothing to me
F C
But hard knocks all I ever knew was hard knocks
G7
And I'm telling you I said you'd better beware
F C
Cause I've had my share (hard knocks)
[Repeat]
[Outro]
G7
I said you'd better beware
F C
Cause I've had my share (hard knocks)
G7
I said you'd better beware
F C F C
Cause I've had my share of hard knocks
