Intro: Verso 1: Bad times, something's wrong Money's gone, I'm on my own Can't stay, there's nothing here Been a hard, hard year Verso 2: First month, snows came Put me in bed, couldn't work the same Job's gone, bills are here Been a hard, hard year Ponte: I look on the bad side of life I lose heart then I want to die So I've got to get back on my feet N.C. And prove to myself I'm a man Guitar Solo Ponte: I hope that the bad times are gone It's been work, but I think that I've won Now I'm happy And I'll never be that way again N.C. No, I'll never be that way again Verso 3: Snow's gone, spring's here Won't happen twice, I've seen my way clear Everyone's paid, got no one to fear Been a hard, hard year Outro Been a hard, hard year
