Am         D 
Bad times, something's wrong 
Am            D 
Money's gone, I'm on my own

Been a hard, hard year

First month, snows came

Put me in bed, couldn't work the same

Job's gone, bills are here 
Am     D          E 
Been a hard, hard year

I look on the bad side of life

I lose heart then I want to die

D                            N.C. 
And prove to myself I'm a man
