Capo 2
D
Mommas worried about Papa and the empty grocery shelf
D
Papa's working down under the ground slowly killing himself
C G D
He's working in the mines, havin' hard times
C G D
Yeah he's workin' in the mines and havin' hard times
It's the same way in the city working in the factory
It takes all the overtime you can get just to feed your family
Workin' on the line and havin' hard times
Yeah workin' on the line and havin' hard times
Chorus:
G D
And what used to be a dollar aint worth a silver dime
G E7 A
There is no such thing as security when you're having all those hard, hard times
D
I know about some farmers outside of East Moline
D
They couldn't work their fields this year cause they couldn't buy gasoline
C G D
They're plantin' by the sides and havin' hard times
C G D
Yeah they're plantin' side, still havin' hard times
Fiddle
Chorus
Mommas still worried about Papa and the empty grocery shelf
Papa's still working down under the ground slowly killing himself
Working in the mines, havin' hard times
Lord, workin' in the mines and havin' hard times
