[C] [G] Oh, but it's hard, ain't it [C] hard, ain't it hard, oh, it's [G] hard to live with a loved one
and give it [D] little of you.
[G] Oh, but it's hard, ain't it hard, [C] ain't it hard to bring it to God [G] when a loved one never will.
Well, there is a house in [C] this old town, [G] that's where my true love [A] lays around.
She sits down upon [C] another's knee.
And, [G] oh, it's hard, ain't it [C] hard, ain't it hard to [G] live with a loved one
and give it [D] little of you.
Oh, it's hard, ain't it hard, [C] ain't it hard to bring it to God [G] when a loved one never will.
Well, the first time I seen [C] my true love, she [G] was standing by my [D] door.
[G] And the last time I seen [Em] her false hearted smile, [G] she was twisted on the barrow floor.
Oh, but it's hard, ain't it hard, [C] ain't it hard to live [G] with a loved one
and give it [D] little of you.
Oh, [G] but it's hard, ain't it hard, [C] ain't it hard to bring it to God when [G] a loved one never will.

[C] [G] Well, now, who's gonna kiss your pretty lips?
Not you, sweetie.
[G] Who's gonna hold your little [D] hand?
Hand.
[G] And who's gonna do [C] well?
You know what?
I [G] will.
When I'm down in that promised land.
Oh, well, it's hard, ain't it hard, [C] ain't it hard to live [G] with a [D] loved one
and give it little of you.
Oh, it's hard, ain't it hard, [C] ain't it hard to bring it to God [G] when a loved one never will.
If
[C] [G] you pick on it, it'll never get [D] well.
[Gm]
[C] [G] Oh, well, don't go to Rick [C] and Rick and Blim when I [G] look over there,
your sorrow's [D] born to drown.
Oh, [G] well, this hard liquor place [C] is a blow-down disgrace.
[G] This is the meanest damn place in this town.
Oh, it's hard, ain't it [C] hard, ain't it hard to [G] live with a loved one
and give [D] it little of you.
[G] Oh, it's hard, ain't it [C] hard, ain't it hard to bring it to [G] God when a loved one never will.
Oh, it's hard, ain't it [C] hard, ain't it hard to [G] live with a loved one.
