Verse:
  D G D     G
One man does his work
  D    G       D  G
Hes not satisfied not at all
  D G       D     G
Feels like that hes being used
  D     G     D   G
His self respect starts to fall
  D  G  D         G
His frustration runs very very high
  D         G    D   G
He takes it out on the ones he loves
    D       G       D   G   D
Because its safe (It's safe) and who they gonna tell?
    G       A           D
And he hates that cold bloodedness that runs inside


Chorus:
D
Oh yes
     G      A       D
Its hard times (hard times), for an honest man (honest man)
G     A     D
Very very very hard times
   G      A       D
Hard times (hard times), for an honest man (honest man)
G     A     D
Very very very hard times

[Intro]

Verse:
D   G   D                  G
Sister (Sister),shes got a lot of pride (lotta pride)
  D    G      D       G
You can see it when she walks into the room
  D        G     D      G
But shes young (She's young)and shes unaware
  D    G         D G
What a brutal world can do to you
  D  G  D         G
So she loves a man, who lies like a dog
D    G    D    G
Tears her little world all apart
  D   G          D    G  D
So the walls go up for the rest of her days
    G        A       D
And there ain't no man can touch this girls heart


Chorus:
D
Oh yes
     G      A       D
Its hard times (hard times), for an honest man (honest man)
G     A     D
Very very very hard times
   G      A       D
Hard times (hard times), for an honest man (honest man)
G     A     D
Very very very hard times


Verse w/Intro

    D      G       D      G
So we walk from the front porch to the back yard
    D      G       D    G
Just to laugh and say hello and say goodbye
     D      G       D       G   D
But some days are hard, like a soldiers steel-toed boots
    G        A         D
And the rent we pay to stay here gets higher


Chorus:
D
Oh yes
     G      A       D
Its hard times (hard times), for an honest man (honest man)
G     A     D
Very very very hard times
   G      A       D
Hard times (hard times), for an honest man (honest man)
G     A     D
Very very very hard times
