Tracy Grammer - Hard To Make It Chords

CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: D

                             G        D
Lonesome stranger, won't you share my bed
    G        D            Asus2    D
The sidewalk siren at the bus stop said
                    G     D
Love is a tear in a salty bay
         G       D               Asus2   D
And it's hard to make it in this world today


G                        G/F       G/E
Love is a river, but the river run dry
        D
And the clouds blow bitter in a bone-yard sky
G                     G/F    G/E
Flesh dries up and it burns away
        D
And you can't remember where your heart once lay
                                 Asus2   D
And it's hard to make it in this world today


                  G      D
Dandy Don, he's a velvet hand
        G      D                 Asus2  D
He's my silent partner, he's the inside man
                             G       D
Holds me shaking through the shotgun dawn
       G        D                 Asus2    D
And he keeps me walking down this road I'm on


G                        G/F      G/E
Keeps me running when he calls my name
D
He shines the light, but he kills the flame
G                       G/F    G/E
Stones me simple when I try to speak
       D
And he bruise my face, but he kiss my cheek
                                  Asus2    D
And it's hard to make it when you get this weak


INSTRUMENTAL: D  G  D  G  D  Asus2  D  (2x)


D                            G         D
One of these mornings, gonna spread my wings
       G       D            Asus2    D
Like a red-ass robin at the gates of spring
                     G       D
Rise up singing on a cyclone wind
         G             D         Asus2    D
'Til the walls of this city come tumbling in


G                       G/F       G/E
Walls of this city come tumbling, rumbling
D
'Round my head like an old man stumbling
G                   G/F       G/E
I don't care if the mountains fall
          D
There's a little blue egg in the middle of this all
                                  Asus2   D
And it's hard to make it when you feel so small


D                   G         D
Bus pulled up and I climbed inside
  G          D            Asus2     D
I sat in the window and I waved goodbye
                         G      D
She stood staring at the blue machine
          G      D         Asus2        D
Singing, "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen"


G                G/F    G/E
Nobody cares and nobody knows
     D
Only weeds remember where your headstone grows
         G                 G/F      G/E
And it's dust to ashes and wings to clay
      D
And I check my wallet as we pull away
                                    Asus2   D
'Cause it's hard to make it in this world today
