~(verse 1)~
When you're so long gone, you can't help yourself
Gm F C C7
When you're so dead wrong, let alone no one else
Gm F C C7
Well the children still dying in the street, And babies still living with disease
Gm F C C7
And the cops got guns, and the po folk got sons who work for Mr. Franklin every week
Gm F C C7
~(chorus)~
And if you've come looking for hard times, hard times ain't hard to find
Gm F C C7
Because we're given that lifeline, only once in a lifetime
Gm F C C7
Baby we was born, maybe we were born
Gm F C C7
To be sure to endure when the storm comes
Gm F C C7
~(verse 2)~
Got them sad eyes, got cat eyes, got the angels tired from saving his life
Gm F C C7
And you could bet to contain yourself before you end up killed
Gm F C C7
Get his bare feet touchin her bare feet, the air breathes sweet near mountains peak
Gm F C C7
And I forgot what the wise man said about that ancient thread
Gm F C C7
~(chorus)~
And if you've come looking for hard times, hard times ain't hard to find
Gm F C C7
Because we're given that lifeline, only once in a lifetime
Gm F C C7
Baby we was born, maybe we were born
Gm F C C7
To be sure to endure when the storm comes
Gm F C C7
Baby we was born, maybe we were born
Gm F C C7
To rejoice, rejoice when it succumbs
Gm F C C7
~(outro)~
Gm , F , C , C7 (x6) ~fading out~
