🎸 Verse 1:
A                           G               A
In the waking hours of some not-too-distant mornin'
A
You'll come walking barefoot through this cowl-pulled mind
A                                  G             A
Selling yesterday's dreams wrapped in tomorrow's paper
A               G         A                          A
Whistling for a dog named Kindness that you'll never find



🎸 Chorus:
       A    G G4 G A
It's a cold hard   world, love
D         E         A
These are cold hard times
D         E         A
These are cold hard times

🎸 Verse 2:
A                              G                       A
Standing in some narrow space, you'll hear your mother crying
A
For the thoughts she had and didn't use, now they're gone
A                                 G                     A
And your father's still out back, he's selling and he's buying
A               G                           D               A
There's nothing he can give you 'cause he's never once been wrong


🎸 Chorus:
       A    G G4 G A
It's a cold hard   world, love
D         E         A
These are cold hard times
D         E         A
These are cold hard times


🎸 Verse 3:
A                                  G                  A
I heard my brother died last week, or was that just a rumor
A
From an overdose of hate taken in his vein
A                                  G               A
I heard the preacher said God must have a sense of humor
A                G                        D           A
'Cause when they put him in the grave, it didn't even rain


🎸 Chorus:
       A    G G4 G A
It's a cold hard   world, love
D         E         A
These are cold hard times
D         E         A
These are cold hard times


🎸 Outro:
D         E         A
These are cold hard times
