Tracy Grammer - Hard To Make It
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO: D MajorD
G+G D MajorD
Lonesome stranger, won't you share my bed
G+G D MajorD Asus2Asus2 D MajorD
The sidewalk siren at the bus stop said
G+G D MajorD
Love is a tear in a salty bay
G+G D MajorD Asus2Asus2 D MajorD
And it's hard to make it in this world today
G+G G/F G/EG/E
Love is a river, but the river run dry
D MajorD
And the clouds blow bitter in a bone-yard sky
G+G G/F G/EG/E
Flesh dries up and it burns away
D MajorD
And you can't remember where your heart once lay
Asus2Asus2 D MajorD
And it's hard to make it in this world today
G+G D MajorD
Dandy Don, he's a velvet hand
G+G D MajorD Asus2Asus2 D MajorD
He's my silent partner, he's the inside man
G+G D MajorD
Holds me shaking through the shotgun dawn
G+G D MajorD Asus2Asus2 D MajorD
And he keeps me walking down this road I'm on
G+G G/F G/EG/E
Keeps me running when he calls my name
D MajorD
He shines the light, but he kills the flame
G+G G/F G/EG/E
Stones me simple when I try to speak
D MajorD
And he bruise my face, but he kiss my cheek
Asus2Asus2 D MajorD
And it's hard to make it when you get this weak
INSTRUMENTAL: D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD Asus2Asus2 D MajorD (2x)
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
One of these mornings, gonna spread my wings
G+G D MajorD Asus2Asus2 D MajorD
Like a red-ass robin at the gates of spring
G+G D MajorD
Rise up singing on a cyclone wind
G+G D MajorD Asus2Asus2 D MajorD
'Til the walls of this city come tumbling in
G+G G/F G/EG/E
Walls of this city come tumbling, rumbling
D MajorD
'Round my head like an old man stumbling
G+G G/F G/EG/E
I don't care if the mountains fall
D MajorD
There's a little blue egg in the middle of this all
Asus2Asus2 D MajorD
And it's hard to make it when you feel so small
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Bus pulled up and I climbed inside
G+G D MajorD Asus2Asus2 D MajorD
I sat in the window and I waved goodbye
G+G D MajorD
She stood staring at the blue machine
G+G D MajorD Asus2Asus2 D MajorD
Singing, "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen"
G+G G/F G/EG/E
Nobody cares and nobody knows
D MajorD
Only weeds remember where your headstone grows
G+G G/F G/EG/E
And it's dust to ashes and wings to clay
D MajorD
And I check my wallet as we pull away
Asus2Asus2 D MajorD
'Cause it's hard to make it in this world today
