Key: D Verse 1: D Brother runnin' powder money A Daddy's somewhere on a drunk G In the hours, after washing D I do my dreaming with a gun Verse 2: D Well I come down from the country A Find a lesson in the draw G There ain't no secrets in the city D It's hard living with the law
Chorus 1: C G D They got machines, mama I can't figure C G D They got a romance made for doing time C G Send me out child, running outside D Out along a world of crime Instrumental Verse: D A G D Chorus 2: C G D Gonna swing my scythe, got a hand upon the handle C G D Gonna shade my children ways I understand C G Milk the trigger, kill the hunger D Staring down this broken land Verse 3: D So fetch on up your greasy apron A Spread your lover in the straw G Hear me baby, I'm nearly crazy D It's hard living with the law D It's hard living with the law Outro Groove: G D G D
