~(verse 1)~

When you're so long gone, you can't help yourself
        G minorGm    FF          C majorC  C7C7

When you're so dead wrong, let alone no one else
        G minorGm    FF         C majorC  C7C7

Well the children still dying in the street, And babies still living with disease
     G minorGm             FF      C majorC           C7C7

And the cops got guns, and the po folk got sons who work for Mr. Franklin every week
    G minorGm          FF           C majorC             C7C7


~(chorus)~

And if you've come looking for hard times, hard times ain't hard to find
      G minorGm         FF     C majorC      C7C7

Because we're given that lifeline, only once in a lifetime
      G minorGm      FF    C majorC        C7C7

Baby we was born, maybe we were born
      G minorGm  FF         C majorC  C7C7

To be sure to endure when the storm comes
   G minorGm   FF             C majorC  C7C7


~(verse 2)~

Got them sad eyes, got cat eyes, got the angels tired from saving his life
  G minorGm        FF         C majorC         C7C7

And you could bet to contain yourself before you end up killed
       G minorGm         FF  C majorC         C7C7

Get his bare feet touchin her bare feet, the air breathes sweet near mountains peak
  G minorGm          FF          C majorC            C7C7

And I forgot what the wise man said about that ancient thread
     G minorGm          FF  C majorC         C7C7

~(chorus)~

And if you've come looking for hard times, hard times ain't hard to find
      G minorGm         FF     C majorC      C7C7

Because we're given that lifeline, only once in a lifetime
      G minorGm      FF    C majorC        C7C7

Baby we was born, maybe we were born
      G minorGm  FF         C majorC  C7C7

To be sure to endure when the storm comes
   G minorGm   FF             C majorC  C7C7

Baby we was born, maybe we were born
      G minorGm  FF         C majorC  C7C7

To rejoice, rejoice when it succumbs
   G minorGm    FF         C majorC  C7C7
