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