Chords for Mary Chapin Carpenter - Songs From Home Episode 3: The Hard Way

[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ Hey kids, we're back.
Songs from Home, Episode 3 with Angus the Golden Retriever.
And we picked some flowers from the garden to try to brighten up the set a bit.
The [E] sun is coming out.
It's a beautiful spring day.
And we're happy to be with you again.
_ Real quick, I wanted to answer a question that came up a lot in the posts from the last song.
This is a John Grevin guitar.
That's G-R-E-V-E-N.
_ It's a Model J.
This one is from 1983.
_ Beautiful maple.
And it's one of my treasures.
I love this guitar.
And it's a joy to play.
Here you go, bud.
There you go.
And also this P on my ball cap.
It stands for Princeton.
This is my dad's old ball cap.
And I grew up in Princeton, New Jersey.
So I like to wear it.
And today is my dad's birthday.
So I wanted to wish him a happy birthday up there somewhere.
Lots of love for you, dad.
And lastly, before we sing, I wanted to send [G#] a big shout _ to our friends,
who I mentioned in the caption for the last song.
They really are in the trenches with COVID-19.
And they're fighting tooth and nail.
Send all my love out to them.
Stay mighty.
That's what I think my new hashtag is.
Stay mighty.
I send it out to you.
_ [D#] [Dm] And I want to thank you again for all your amazing posts and comments and support.
And _ we've got each other's backs.
There's nothing more important than that.
So anyway, here we go.

[F#] _ _
_ _ Our hearts [Gm] beating while we [D#m] sleep.
[G#m] _ While [F#] we're [C#] wide awake.
You [F#] know that girl from the star.
[G#m] Actions [F#] speak loud.

[F#] _ _ [G#m] Everything's [F#] got to be done the hard way.
_ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[B] _
_ _ _ Have a little trust in us.
_ And feel it's true. _
You know you've got this love.
[F#] Darling, not by [B] love.
_ But by never, never turning back.
[F#] _ _ Some will [E] call on destiny.
[G#m] But I just [B] call [C#] on faith.
If [B] the world [F#] won't stop.
Actions speak loud.
Listen to your [A] heart.
And your heart [F#] might say.
_ [G#m] Everything's got [B] to be [F#] done the hard way.
_ [B] _ _ _
[F#] _ [D#m] _ _ Caught up [B] in our little lives.
_ There's not a [F#] lot left for us.
_ [D#m] _ I see what's [G#m] missing.
In your [F#] eyes you're searching for that.
