I'm not proud of this.
I feel all of a sudden like a bastard at a family reunion.
[G#] I [C#] know I'm supposed to be here, I just don't know where to sit.
That's it, that's all.
[G#m] [C#m]
Thank you, you're kind.
Did you put the [B] wrong one or is that another one?
Another one.
Another [G] one.
[G#] The G-string is so uncomfortable when you break it, isn't it?
We even wore little striped shirts for the [C#] occasion.
Yeah.
Mine's little.
[G#m] Your [G#] shirt too.
[E]
Spending [A] 80 bucks on a [B] shirt that two of your best friends have one just like it
don't [D#] make any sense [B] to me but
[Bm] [C] [B] [G]
Well, it's hard ain't it hard, [C] ain't it hard
[G] to love one who never did love [D] you
Well, it's [G] hard ain't it hard, [C] ain't it hard
great [G] God, to love one who never [D] will be [G] true
Well, there is a house in [C] this old town
[G] that's where my true [A] love lays around
she sits down upon [C] another's knee
[G] and tells him what she never will tell me
Well, it's hard ain't it hard, [C] ain't it hard
[G] to love one who never did love you
Well, it's hard ain't it hard, [C] ain't it hard
great God, to love one who never will be true
Well, the first time I saw my [C] true love
she [G] was standing by the door
and the last time I saw [Em] her false hearted smile
she was dead on that barn [G] roof door
Oh, hard ain't it hard, ain't it hard
Well, it's hard ain't it hard, ain't it hard
to love one who never did [A] love you
Well, it's [G] hard ain't it hard, [C] ain't it hard
great God, [G] to love one who never will be true
Continuous entertainment!
[C]
Oh, well, look every kid in gambling
[G] look on air, you're so sported around
Well, there's hardly [C] complacent
no damn disgrace, it's the meanest damn face in this town
Oh, well, it's hard ain't it hard, [C] ain't it hard
[G] to love one who never [D] did love you
[G] Oh, well, it's hard ain't it hard, [C] ain't it hard
great God, [G] to love one who never will be true
You know it's hard, hard, [C] hard
[G] to love one who never [D] did love you
Yes, it's so very hard, hard, [C] hard
great God, [G] to love one who [E] never will be [G] true
