{c:Intro: Verse}

[C]I been havin' some hard travellin', I thought you knowed'
[C]I been havin' some hard travellin', [D7]way down the [G]road'
[C]I been havin' some hard travellin',
     [F]hard ramblin', hard gamblin','
[C]An' I've been hittin' some [G]hard travellin' [C]Lord [G][C]


[C]I've been ridin' them fast rattlers, I thought you knowed
[C]I've been ridin' them flat wheelers, [D7]way down the [G]road
[C]I've been ridin' them dead enders,
   [F]blind passengers, kicking up cinders,
[C]I've been havin' some [G]hard travellin' [C]Lord [G][C]


[C]Well, I've been hittin' some hard-rock minin', I thought you knowed
[C]I've been leanin' on a pressure drill, [D7]way down the [G]road
[C]Hammer flyin', air-hose suckin',
   [F]six foot of mud and I shore been a muckin'
And [C]I've been havin' some [G]hard travellin' [C]Lord [G][C]


Well, [C]I've been hittin' some hard harvestin', I thought you knowed
[C]North Dakota to Kansas City [D7]way down the [G]road
[C]Cuttin' that wheat an' stacking that hay,
   and [F]tryin' to make about a dollar a day
An' [C]I've been havin' some [G]hard travellin' [C]Lord [G][C]


[C]I've been working that Pittsburgh steel, I thought you knowed.
[C]I've been a pourin', red-hot slag, [D7]way down the [G]road.
[C]I've been a blasting, I've been a firin',
   [F]I've been a pourin' red-hot iron.
[C]I've been havin' some [G]hard travellin' [C]Lord. [G][C]


Well, [C]I've layin' in a hard rock jail, I thought you knowed
[C]I've been layin' out ninety days, [D7]way down the [G]road
The [C]mean old judge he says to me,
   "It's [F]ninety days for vagrancy"
An' [C]I've been hittin' some [G]hard travellin' [C]Lord [G][C]


Well, [C]I've been walkin' that Lincoln Highway, I thought you knowed
[C]I've been hittin' that '66, [D7]way down the [G]road
[C]Heavy load, and a worried mind,
   I'm a-[F]lookin' for a woman that's a-hard to find
An' [C]I've been hittin' some [G]hard travellin' [C]Lord [G][C]
