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