Am                      F            Em
If I could have all the women in the world
        Am    C          G
I would take this time to leave
Am                        F                Em
The pressure's on and I'm not some kind of strong man
   Am        C       G
So take this thing from me
Am    F        Em      Am C  G
Don't give it a second thought
Am                F                Em
I can see you got better things to do
        Am          C        G
So just take your things and leave

[Chorus]
Am   F
Hard times
G         Em         Am
(Happiest days of my life)
Am   C          G
Hard times gone by
Am   F
Hard times
G         Em         Am
(Happiest days of my life)
Am   C          G
Hard times gone by

[Verse 2]
Am                     F               Em
Late at night with the darkness here around me
   Am        C     G
I'm drinking all alone
Am                  F           Em
Nothing here but my medicine to guide me
      Am        C   G
Since I've been on my own
Am    F           Em    Am C  G
Well, have you forgotten now
Am               F         Em
Memories that continue to amaze me
    Am      C    G
Are all but over now

[Chorus]
Am   F
Hard times
G         Em         Am
(Happiest days of my life)
Am   C          G
Hard times gone by
Am   F
Hard times
G         Em         Am
(Happiest days of my life)
Am   C          G
Hard times gone by
Am   F
Hard times
G         Em         Am
(Happiest days of my life)
Am   C          G
Hard times gone by
Am   F
Hard times
G         Em         Am
(Happiest days of my life)
Am   C          G
Hard times gone by
