[Chorus]
C D
It's a cold hard world
G C
It's a cold hard world
C D
It's a cold hard world
G
Oh no
[Verse 1]
C D
I heard Red Donley say
G C
It was on the news today
C D
It's a cold hard world
G C
It's a cold hard world
[Verse 2]
C D
It's hiking across the country
G C
Looking for a bite to eat
C D
You'd be surprised at the animals
G C
And the people you'd meet
[Verse 3]
C D
Rolling down that highway
G C
With eyes fixed straight ahead
C D
They have a caravan of cars
G C
To bury the dead
[Verse 4]
C D
And coke cans and pop bottles
G C
Lined the streets like flowers instead
C D
And this guy gave me a ride
G
I said this industrial waste sure stinks
C D
He said he likes that smell
G C
'cause that's the smell of money
C G
I said "well, mister money stinks, too."
[Chorus]
C D
It's a cold hard world
G C
It's a cold hard world
C D
It's a cold hard world
G
Oh no
[Verse 5]
C D
I met a fireman
G C
He said you never forget burning flesh
C D
And the librarian said
G
Do you have a card here?
C D
I said I been coming here for weeks
G C
Don't you recognize me by now
C D
I checked out a million books
G
Just to get you to notice me
[Chorus]
C D
It's a cold hard world
G C
It's a cold hard world
C D
It's a cold hard world
G
Oh no
[Verse 6]
C D
Somebody's house burned down
G C
Somebody's hubcap fell off
C D
Somebody's soul got lost
G C
Somebody's heart got broke
[Verse 7]
C D
I heard Red Donley say
G C
It was on the news today
C D
It's a cold hard world
G C
It's a cold hard world
