Tonart: D minor
Verse 1
G
I wrote this song about, I don't know,
a dozen years ago.
Am
It's more true now than
when I wrote it.
It's called Hard Times in America.
E
Am
I woke up this morning
with a pounding in my brain
G
And half a dozen roaches
F
Am
crawling down my window tank
Got no food in the kitchen,
I can't afford the rent
G
F
I had some money yesterday,
E
but I don't know where it went
Am
I couldn't find a job,
I could not get a loan
G
Dm
F
I could not pay the bills,
Am
so they took back my telephone
My girlfriend Josephine
gave me back my ring
F
till you get some dough,
E
you can forget about the wild thing
Am

G
Hard times in America
Am
F
G
Am
America, America
The farmer down the road,
he never did no harm
G
F
But he could not make the payments
Am
so they auctioned off his farm
All across the heartland,
from Mexico to Maine
F
E
locked up in a human chain
Am
F
Hard times in America
G
Am
Hard times in America
G
Am
Hard times in America
F
They say it's getting better,
but closing the gap
Am
You know as well as I do,
that's just a load of crap
F
The rich are getting rich,
the poor are staying poor
E
I do believe the Grim Reaper
knocking at the door
Am
F
Hard times in America
G
Am
Hard times in America
G
Am
Hard times in America

Verse 2
Am
The widow next door,
the once a blushing bride
G
Dm
F
Now a pile of skin and bone,
Am
afraid to go outside
Where hustlers and pimps
E
and murderers have been
Am
G
F
Dressed in rags and feathers
E
Am
on the outside lookin' in
People eatin' garbage,
people drinkin' rain
G
F
Sleepin' on the sidewalks
Am
in a cardboard hurricane
Some are drinkin' whiskey,
some are takin' drugs
G
Am
F
Victims of a society
E
that's workin' out the funds
Am
F
Hard times in America
G
Am
Hard times in America
