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
Bm G
Babe it's a hard life
D
God makes you live

But without it
A
Don't doubt it
Bm G
You don't even have
D
Your tears to give
Verse 1:
D
I wake up and I'm fine
Em
With my dreaming still on my mind
G
But it don't take long you see
D
For the demons to come and visit me
D
And I've got my problems
Em
Sometimes love don't solve them
G F#m G
And I end each day
D
In a song
