Verse:
Sister (sister),
Shes got a lot of pride
You can see it when she walks into the room
But shes young (shes young)
And shes unaware
Of what a brutal world can do to you
So she loves a man
He lies like a dog
Tears her little world all apart
So the walls go up
For the rest of her days
And the ^A re aint no man c ^B an touch this
^E Girls heart
Chorus:
^E Oh yes
Its hard ^A times (hard ^B times), for an ^E honest man (honest man)
^A Very very ^B very hard ^E times
Hard ^A times (hard ^B times), for an ^E honest man (honest man)
^A Very very ^B very hard ^E times
Verse:
So we walk
From the front porch to the back yard
Just to laugh and say hello and
Say goodbye
But some days are hard, like a
Soldiers steel-toed boots
And the ^A rent we pay to ^B stay here
^E Gets high
Chorus:
^E Oh yes
Its hard ^A times (hard ^B times), for an ^E honest man (honest man)
^A Very very ^B very hard ^E times
Hard ^A times (hard ^B times), for an ^E honest man (honest man)
^A Very very ^B very hard ^E times
