Intro:
C G F7 G
Verse 1:
C G F7 G
I'm caught in the shadows, the American South
C G F7 G
Somewhere between hypocrite and hallelujah
C G F7 G
Six generations of barely gettin' by
C G F7 G
Six generations of hey, what's it to ya?
C G F7 G
When the only thing harder than the work is the luck
C G F7 G
The outcome's as hopeful as the evenin' news
C G F7 G
And last November I saw firsthand
C G F7 G
What desperation makes good people do
Chorus:
F7 G
Life ain't fair
C G F7
Saddle up, boy, and see it through
G
Tough times don't last
C G F7 G
Tough folks do
Verse 2:
C G F7 G
See I come from a long line of Carolina farmers
C G F7 G
For years, tobacco was the answer
C G F7 G
It kept the lights on and put food on the table
C G F7 G
'Til the doctors started callin' it cancer
C G F7 G
So we took to the hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains
C G F7 G
With a harvest of corn and some copper line
C G F7 G
And we found you can get a little slice of heaven
C G F7 G
With some sugar yeast water and a whole lotta time
Chorus:
F7 G
Life ain't fair
C G F7
Saddle up, boy, and see it through
G
Tough times don't last
C G F7 G
Tough folks do
Bridge:
Am G F7 C
Where I'm from a man's only worth the weight of his word and
Am G C
Respect ain't handed out, it's earned
Am G F7 C
I've been runnin' with my back to the wall for seventeen years now
Em F7 G
And if it's one thing that I've learned, it's ...
Chorus:
F7 G
Life ain't fair
C G F7
Saddle up, boy, and see it through
G
Tough times don't last
C G F7 G
Tough folks do
