Johnny Cash - Hard Times Comin': Ukulele Chords

E         G#m          A        E
Life was rough on the lone prairie
E          B       A
We didn't have it made
E            G#m                A          E
The northern winds brought the cold snow flury
E                B            A
And brought us close to the grave

    C#m                             C#m 
You carried our child through the warm spring haul
       A                        F#7             B
And if all went well you'd be a mother come to fall

Chorus:
       E    G#m   C#m
We had hard times comin'
       A               E
with twisters on the ground
       E    G#m    C#m
We had tumbleweeds runnin'
               A                   B
and they would almost knocked you down
         C#m                      C#m 
We would hide beneath the storm cellar's door
        A                        F#7
And without you there I couldn't take it anymore
       E    G#m   C#m
We had hard times comin'
               A         B         E
But with your loving we made it alright

The river swelled till the flash blood raged
Washing out the plains
The cottonwood stood with strength of age
And like the trees we remained

It takes the true woman who believes in her man
To stand at his side while he's struggling for his land

Chorus

We had hard times comin'
But with your loving we made it alright
