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
