I Lived So Fast And Hard chords by Porter Wagoner

C               G7            C
I was raised on cornbread and gravy

                 G7                   C          G7
And I slept in a cardboard box till I was nearly three

C                      G7          C              G7
I bathed myself in the muddy river running by our shack

       C               F                    C            G7       C
By the time that I had reached thirteen I'd been through hell and back


F                     G7
I've been thrown from pillar to post

          F                 C
I've been banged around and scarred

                       F
I've done so much I've seen so much

         C        G7       C
And I've lived so fast and hard


                 G7              C             G7
Mama died when I was young and I never knew my dad

C               G7                 C     G7       C
I never had the love and care that other children had

                         G7                C             G7
I spent five years in an orphan's home but I ran off one day

    C           F                    C       G7    C
And I hoboed an old freight train to San Francisco Bay


F                      G7
I've fought in the war I've been in jail

F                        C
There ain't much I ain't done

                     F
I'd lived as much as any man

C            G7     C
Before I was twenty one


F                     G7
I've been thrown from pillar to post

          F                 C
I've been banged around and scarred

                       F
I've done so much I've seen so much

         C        G7       C
And I've lived so fast and hard
