Baby Huey & The Babysitters
Hard Times
Gm
Cold, cold eyes upon me they stare
A#
People all around me and they're all in fear
Cm
They don't seem to want me but they won't admit
Gm C-Cm Gm [Listen to Recording for Timing]
I must be some kind of creature up here having fits
Gm
From my party house, I'm afraid to come outside
A#
Although I'm filled with love I'm afraid they'll hurt my pride
Cm
So I play the part I feel they want of me
Gm
And I pull the shades so I won't see them seein' me
A# Cm Gm A#
Havin' hard times in this crazy town
A# Cm Gm Cm A#
Havin' hard times, there's no love to be found
A# Cm Gm A#
Havin' hard times, in this crazy town
A# Cm Gm
Havin' hard times, there's no love to be found
Gm
From my party house I feel like meetin' others
A#
Familiar faces, creed and race, a brother
Cm
But to my surprise I find a man corrupt
Gm
Although he be my brother, he wants to hold me up
A# Cm Gm A#
Havin' hard times in this crazy town
A# Cm Gm Cm A#
Havin' hard times, there's no love to be found
A# Cm Gm A#
Havin' hard times, in this crazy town
A# Cm Gm
Havin' hard times, there's no love to be found
Gm [for the entire talking part]
So many hard times...
Sleepin' on motel floors
Knockin' on my brother's door
Eatin' Spam and Oreos and drinkin' Thunderbird baby
A#
in this crazy town
A# Cm Gm Cm A#
Havin' hard times, there's no love to be found
A# Cm Gm A#
Havin' hard times, in this crazy town

Havin' hard times, there's no love to be found
[Gm for the outro]
I'm sick and tired
I'm sick and tired of payin' dues baby
And I'm sick and tired of havin' so many hard, hard times baby
And from my party house, from my party house
