[Bb] [F]
No food on my table and no shoes on my feet.
No [D] food on my table and no shoes on [F] my feet.
[E] My children cried for mercy.
[Fm] They got no [F] free accordion.
Hard times, hard times.
Hard times seem like a hard time.
Hard [Bb] times seem like a hard time.
Hard [D] times seem like a [F] hard time.
If [Bb] somebody don't help me,
I just can't be around free [F] much longer.
No shoes on my feet and no food to go on my table.
Oh no, so sad, children crying for bread.
[Bb] [Fm] [G] [F]
