Intro]
G G/F#
[Verse 1]
Em7 D C G
There was a Camptown man, used to plow and sing
Em7 D C G
He loved that mule and the mule loved him
Em7 D C G
When the day got long as it does about now
Em7 D C G Gsus
I'd hear him singing to his muley-cow
G Gsus G Gsus
Calling, "Come on my sweet old girl
G Gsus G Gsus
I'd bet the whole damn world
G D G C D
We're gonna make it yet to the end of the row"
[Chorus]
Em7 D C G
Singing "Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind
Em7 D C G
Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind, Bessie
Em7 D C D G
Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind no more"
[Chorus-to-Verse Interlude]
G G/F#
[Verse 2]
Em7 D C G
Said it's a mean old world, heavy in need
Em7 D C G
That big machine is just picking up speed
Em7 D C G
They were supping on tears, they were supping on wine
Em7 D C G Gsus
We all get to heaven in our own sweet time
G Gsus G Gsus
So come all you Asheville boys
G Gsus G Gsus
and turn up your old-time noise
G D G C D
And kick 'til the dust comes up from the cracks in the floor
[Chorus]
Em7 D C G
Singing "Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind, brother
Em7 D C G
Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind
Em7 D C D G
Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind no more"
[Verse 3]
Em7 D C G
But the Camptown man, he doesn't plow no more
Em7 D C G
I seen him walking down to the superette store
Em7 D C G
Guess he lost that nag and he forgot that song
Em7 D C G Gsus
Woke up one morning and the mule was gone
G Gsus G Gsus
So come on, you ragtime kings
G Gsus G Gsus
And come on, you dogs, and sing
G D G C D
And pick up the dusty old horn and give it a blow
[Chorus]
Em7 D C G
Playing "Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind, honey
Em7 D C G
Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind, sugar
Em7 D C D G Gsus G
Hard times ain't gonna rule my mind no more"
