Johnny Cash - The Hard Way: chords

G        C             F
Oh, the hells I put myself through
     G                        C
The fights I didn't need to fight
                    G                F
This thick head of mine ya couldn't get through
               G                   C   G
Had to do it wrong just to get it right just
           C  G
to get it right

Chorus:
               C                F
I learned the Hard Way but the hard way
                    C
taught me well the hard way
      G
Sure put this boy through some hell
     C           F
The hard way it taught me how to tell
     C                   A#           G
The right way from the wrong and on which
          C
side I belong on

Deep are the memories as a young boy of
the lessons that I learned
My mama warnin' me that fire is no toy
Ya play with fire boy and you get burned
Oh I got burned

Chorus

     A                  G
What others learned in Sunday school
   A                   G
I learned by gettin' black n' blue

Chorus

Oh, the hells I put myself through
The fights I didn't need to fight
This thick head of mine ya couldn't get through
Had to do it wrong just to get it right
just to get it right

Chorus

The hard way I learned the hard way
I learned the hard way
