[C][D][G][C][D][G][C]

[Verse 1]
It's [C]a cold hard [D]world

It's a cold hard [D]world
Oh no

[Verse 2]
I [C]heard Red Donley [D]say

It's a cold hard [D]world
It's a [G]cold hard [C]world

[Verse 3]
It's [C]hiking across the coun[D]try
Looking for [G]a bite to e[C]at
You'd be surprised at the an[D]imals
And the [G]people you'd [C]meet

[Verse 4]
[C]Rolling down that [D]highway
With [G]eyes fixed straight [C]ahead
They have a caravan of [D]cars
To [G]bury the [C]dead
And coke cans and pop [D]bottles
Lined [G]the streets like flowers in[C]stead

[Verse 5]
And this guy [C]gave me a [D]ride
I said this industrial waste sure [G]stinks
He [C]said he likes that [D]smell
'Cause that's [G]the smell of [C]money
I said "well, mis[D]ter money stinks,
[G]too."

And the librar[D]ian said
Do you have a card [G]here?
I said I been [C]coming here for [D]weeks
Don't you recog[G]nize me by [C]now
I checked out a million book[D]s
Just to get you to no[G]tice

me

Somebody's [G]hubcap fell [C]off
Somebody's soul got [D]lost
Somebody's [G]heart got [C]broke

It was [G]on the news [C]today

It's a [G]cold hard world
