{First verse} 

G          Am 
We've been through 
C               G 
So many ups and downs 
G             Am 
The falls and bruises 
C             G 
The leaps and bounds 
G          Am 
We've been handed time 
C                     G 
We've been forced out wide 
G                        Am 
But we've stayed side by side 
        C             G 
Side by side, side by side 


[Verso 1]
 
G          Am 
We've been through 
C                   G 
The drought and the flood 
G                Am 
We sucked up the dust my God 
C                   G 
We struggled in the mud 
G             Am 
We've been up against it 
C                       G 
In big cities and small towns 
G                         Am 
Yes we've had our ups and down 
        C             G 
Ups and down, ups and down

[Verso 2]
 
G             Am 
They wrote us off 
C                     G 
All the ones who knew best 
G                      Am 
We were underestimated north 
C                      G 
And south and east and west 
G               Am 
They smiled and shook their heads 
C                G 
Said too bad, so long 
G         Am                C 
Dead and gone, dead and gone 
         G 
Dead and gone

D 
But you had me 
C         G 
And I had you 
Bm 
And all our true believers 
C                            G 
Family friends and strangers too 
D 
Sure we had our doubts 
C                  G 
But just enough of pride 
Em                    Am 
And we stayed side by side 
         C             G 
Side by side, side by side 
G                     Am 
Yes we stayed side by side 
          C             G 
Side by side, side by side

[Verso 3]
 
G          Am 
When I was hurting 
C                   G 
You didn't fuss too much 
G            Am 
Your comfort was all grace 
C               G 
The lightest of touch 
G              Am 
Now these good lessons 
C                  G 
Are raining at our door 
                       Am 
Let 'em pour, let 'em pour 
            C            G 
Let 'em pour, let 'em pour 
           G             Am 
Let 'em pour, let 'em pour 
           C             G 
Let 'em pour, let 'em pour

Outro: 

G                    Am 
Hard times come no more 
            C             G 
Come no more, come no more 
                       Am 
Hard times come no more 
            C             G 
Come no more, come no more 

                      Am 
Hard times come no more 
           C           G 
Hard times come no more
