[verse 1]
 
D                C                   G              D
The ole man stand by the lone chute, he sold his calves today
D                 C                      G            D
He spits in the dust between his boots, as the semi pulls away
D               C                        G          D
The slick blue check in his grimy hands, shoves down in his coat
D              C                        G                D
It won't make the payment on the land, or pay the interest on the note
 
[chorus]
 
C        G         D
Oh...it's hard, hard times...
 
[verse 2]
 
D                           C                       G
He's a young man with a loving wife, 2 children and a home
D                          C               G
Plans to build a better life, and put a mortagage on his own
D                            C                            G
He lost his job when the boom went bust, still got bills to pay
D                                C                                G
Now he's pickin' up cans in the roadside dust, she's at the Feed-Rack
 
Cafe
 
[chorus]
 
C         G           D
Oh....it's hard, hard times...
 
[verse 3]
 
D                        C                                G
Now the ole' gray banker sits behind his desk, beneath a worried frown
D                                  C                         G
He shuffles through the tangled mess of some good folks goin' down
D                            C                                      G
He's known some of 'em for 30 years, and some point the finger of blame
D                                 C                      G
An' no one see's the bankers tears, except the one who shares his name
 
[chorus]
 
C        G           D
Oh...it's hard, hard times...
D             G           D
Mmm Mmmm...it's hard, hard times...
