Hard Life Tab

by Bonnie Prince Billy


Hard Life by Bonnie Prince Billy

I don't normally tab songs out myself but I couldn't find this anywhere so I thought I’d 
it a go and work it out. Some of the lyrics might not be right, but they’re as close as 
can tell. In a few places where there’s Fm it sometimes sounds like he’s playing an F.

Chorus:


And it's a hard life
               
For a man with no wife
                      
Babe it's a hard life
              
God makes you live

But without it
      
Don't doubt it
                    
You don't even have
              
Your tears to give


Verse 1:


I wake up and I'm fine
                       
With my dreaming still on my mind
                  
But it don't take long you see
                  
For the demons to come and visit me

And I've got my problems
                     
Sometimes love don't solve them
                 
And I end each day
      
In a song


Chorus:


And it's a hard life
               
For a man with no wife
                    
Lord it's a hard life
             
God makes you live

But without it
            
Baby don't doubt it
                    
You don't even have
              
Your tears to give


Verse 2:


And oh I'm a hard man
             
To live with sometimes
               
Maybe it ain't in me
              
To make you a happy wife of mine

And maybe you'll kill me
              
Honey I don't blame you
                  
If I was in your place
                  
Maybe that's what I would do


                    
But I ain't breathing, Let me breath
         
Let me go, Let me leave
               
I don't know but I might lose
              
I might bump my head to blow a fuse


         
So let me go
    
Lay down
     
On my own
         
Let me drown
           
Let me go
                    
Go where you don't know
