My mother told me before she passed away,
Bm7 Bm7/E D5+ D7
Said, "Son, when I'm gone, don't forget to pray
G6 Eº D6 B7
'Cause there'll be hard times, Lord those hard times --
E7/9 E7 G/B A7(5+) D6 Cº Em7- G/B- A7sus4- A7
Who knows better than I?"
A7/6 D6 F#7
Well I soon found out just what she meant
Bm7 Bm7/E D5+ D7
When I had to pawn my clothes just to pay the rent
G6 Eº D6 B7
Talkin' 'about hard times, hard times
E7/9 E7 G/B A7(5+) D6 Cº Em7- G/B- A7sus4- A7
Who knows better than I?
A7/6 D6 F#7
I had a woman, Lord, who was always around,
Bm7 Bm7/E D5+ D7
But when I lost my money, she put me down.
G6 Eº D6 B7
Talkin' 'bout hard times, you know those hard times,
E7/9 E7 G/B A7(5+) D6 Cº Em7- G/B- A7sus4- A7
Yeah, Lord, who knows better than I?
A7/6 D6 F#7
Lord, one of these days, there'll be no sorrow
Bm7 Bm7/E D5+ D7
When I pass away,
G6 Eº D6 B7
And no more hard times,
E7/9 E7 G/B A7(5+) D6 F#7 B7
Yeah, yeah, who knows better than I?
E7/9 E7 G/B A7(5+) D6
Yeah, Lord, who knows better than I?
