Chord/Tab song: Hard to Make It

CAPO: 3rd Fret

INTRO: D

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[D]Bus pulled up and I [G]climbed in[D]side
I [G]sat in the [D]window and I [Asus2]waved good[D]bye
She stood staring at the [G]blue ma[D]chine
Singing, "[G]Nobody [D]knows the [Asus2]trouble I've [D]seen"

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