THE HARD WAY (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)
------------------------------------
[These are the chords for the acoustic (rhythm) guitar; capo at the 2nd
 fret.  The electric guitars play it in 
D
 with no capo.  Frankly, either way
 is pretty easy, but I wrote the chords down for the acoustic.  The tab at
 the end is for the electrics.]
[It sounds okay to play 
E7
 instead of 
G#dim7
.]
[I play 
C5
 as x3x013 and 
G#dim7
 as xx0101 or x20101.]
[Each chord is half a measure.]

Everything we got, we got the hard way

Show a little passion, baby, show a little style
And show the knack for knowing when and the gift for knowing how
And have a little trust in us when fear obscures the path
You know we got this far, darling, not by luck, but by never turning back

Some will call on destiny, but I just call on faith
That the world won't stop, and actions speak louder
Listen to your heart, to what your heart might say

So show a little inspiration, show a little spark
Show the world a little light when you show it your heart

We've got two lives, one we're given and the other one we make
And the world won't stop, and actions speak louder
Listen to your heart, and your heart might say
