[Verse 1]
[D]I l[G]eft m[D]y[G][C][D][G]
home in [C]Harlan County
[D]Headed for the lights of [G]town
I said I'd be back in a [C]Cadillac
But [D]all I ever [G]found was
Lots of hard luck and [C]misery
[D]Trouble keeps on a [G]-talking me
There ain't no future [C]I can see
Just [D]hard luck and [G]misery[C][D][G]
I heard it was a rainin' [C]dollar bills
Right [D]out of the sky they [G]drifted
So I climbed way up on the [C]highest hill
But the [D]doggone wind had [G]shifted
That's my hard luck and [C]misery
[D]Trouble keeps on a [G]-doublin' me
There ain't no future [C]I can see
Just [D]hard luck and [G]misery[C][D][G]
One day I got in a [C]poker game
[D]Played just like my daddy taught [G]me
Now it's hard to be a [C]man that'll cheat
But [D]as you can see, they [G]caught me
That's my hard luck and [C]misery
[D]Trouble keeps on a [G]-doggin' me
There ain't no future [C]I can see
Just [D]hard luck and [G]misery[C][D]
[G]I sailed away on a big[C] steamship
But I [D]fell overboard one [G]Sunday
So I swam forty miles to a [C]tropical isle
They're [D]blowin' it up on [G]Monday
That's my hard luck and [C]misery
[D]Trouble keeps on a [G]-doggin' me
There ain't no future [C]I can see
Just [D]hard luck and [G]misery,
[D]hard luck and [G]misery
