Eleven Hundred Springs - Good Times Hard Livin' guitar chord
Good Times, Hard Livin
Words and music by Matt Hillyer
Verse:
D G
I was a walkin talkin somethin to prove didn't care about nothin at all,
D D/C# D/B D/A G A D
Reelin in the streets throwin bottles at the wall,
D G
We played rockabilly music til all hours of the night,
D D/C# D/B D/A G A D
We'd wind up in the parkin lot in some great big fight,
G D G D
When there weren't no money in it and everything was new,
G D A
We'd drive across the country lookin for somethin to do,
D G
And you couldn't tell us nothin. We had it all figured out for sure,
D D/C# D/B D/A G A D
And the older cats would shake their heads. They'd seen our kind before,
Chorus:
D G D
But it was good times hard livin back then,
D A
I wonder could I do those things again,
D G D G
And never give a second thought to if it was a sin,
D A D
Good times hard livin back then,
Verse:
D G
I was a walkin talkin somethin to prove just playin rock and roll,
D D/C# D/B D/A G A D
Lovin every minute spinnin out of control,
D G
Ridin on that midnight rail tryin to have too much fun,
D D/C# D/B D/A G A D
Probably should've gone to jail for some of the things we done,
G D G D
We'd turn on ZZ Top and roll on to another town,
G D A
We wore that sucker out til the whole thing come unwound,
D G
And you couldn't tell us nothin we had it all figured out for sure,
D D/C# D/B D/A G A D
But some people that I knew back then won't talk to me no more,
Repeat Chorus:
Verse:
D G
I'm a walkin talkin somethin to prove but I'm tryin not to fall,
D D/C# D/B D/A G A D
Cause some funerals I've been to played like writing on the wall,
D G
And now it seems I've come full circle still tryin to make a stand,
D D/C# D/B D/A G A D
Ridin five up in a pick up truck playin in a honkytonk band,
G D G D
And though the words may be different it's still the same old song,
G D A
Figure out where you wanna be and make it up as you go along,
D G
And you still can't tell us nothin we've got it all figured out fo sure.
D D/C# D/B D/A G A D
Shakin our heads at each other we've been down this road before,
Repeat Chorus:
Refrain:
D G
I'm a walkin talkin somethin to prove but I'm tryin not to fall,
D D/C# D/B D/A G A D
And if I think about it now and then ain't too much changed at all
