Hard Times Are Here Again

Capo 4th fret


C              F
Hard times are here again.
G7                  C
Folks are hunkerin' down.
                 F
All the lost and lonely men,
G7             C
Slowly leaving town.
G7                 C
Some are traveling by their thumbs,
G7              C - G7
Some are ridin' blind,
C                 F
Hoping things are better somewhere,
G7                 C
Somewhere down the line.


G7               C
Don't you worry, Lucy, love.
G7            C - G7
See your mama through.
C             F
Soon as daddy gets his job,
     G7             C
He's gonna send for you.

Hard times are here again.
All the wise old men
Told us there was no way we'd have
Times like these again.
We gave them all the power,
Gave them our belief.
We listened and we trusted,
And we landed on relief.

Don't you worry, Lucy, love.
See your mama through.
Soon as daddy gets his job,
He's gonna send for you.

Hard times are here again.
Money's getting scarce.
All the while the prices keep on
Rising something fierce.
Someone's getting richer, boys,
On the money that we earn.
While we are standing stranded
On the pavement getting burned.

Don't you worry, Lucy, love.
See your mama through.
Soon as daddy gets his job,
He's gonna send for you.

Hard times are here again.
Folks are hunkerin' down.
All the lost and lonely men
Are slowly leaving town.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1983)
