                                       D                Em
     There^Òs some hard times in the neighborhood

                G                          C       G
It^Òs been fifteen years since I left home
   D                                     Em        C
I said good luck to every seed I^Òd sown
 G               D                Em        C   D
Gave it my best, then I left it alone

I hope they^Òre doin^Ò alright

now, I look in the mirror and what do I see,
      D                                 Em       C
A lone wolf there staring back at me
G                  D              Em                  C
Long in the tooth, but harmless as can be
      D                                    C
Lord, I guess he^Òs doin^Ò alright

Chorus

Bridge
Em                       D                               C
Sometimes it^Òs lonely, sometimes it^Òs only me
              Am
And the shadow that fills this room
Em                      D                            C        C/B                Am

     D                                     Em           C
Or take my old harley for a three day cruise
G                D                Em        C
Might even grow me a fu-man-chu

Chorus                           D         D         Em
     And it^Òs a great^Å.. day^Å.. to be alive

     You know the sun^Òs still shining when I close my eyes
                                       D                Em
     There^Òs some hard times in the neighborhood
             Am                   Am/B   C            D   G
     But why can^Òt everyday be just this go-od.
