    E A5 E
    Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
  • E A5 E
    She made me a shirt out of fives and dimes
    A5 A/G# A/F# F#sus2add9*
  • Now she's gone but when I wear it she crosses my mind
    E A5 E
    And if the best is for the best then the best is unkind
  •  
     
    E A5 E
  • I realized that Illinois was more than I could stand
    E A5 E
    They say working's best 'cause poverty is hell on a man
  • A5 A/G# A/F# F#sus2add9*
    Now I ride a lazy river through the Mississippi fan
    E A5 E
  • And if the best is for the best then the best can be damned
     
    *2
  •  
    E A5 E
    I spent a few years on the Queen of Spain
  • E A5 E
    She was a leaky little boat that went up in flames
    A5 A/G# A/F# F#sus2add9*
  • When the boiler blew some people started naming names
    E A5 E
    But if the best is for the best I guess the best is to blame
  •  
     
    E A5 E
  • I spent a few more as the Cairo Crown
    E A5 E
    A heavyweight wrestler in the Midwest towns
  • A5 A/G# A/F# F#sus2add9*
    But I was lonesome for a girl who could pin me down
    E A5 E
  • They say the best is for the best but that's not what I've found
     
    *2, repeat intro
  •  
    E A5 E
    Now I listen to my sweetheart and I listen to my thirst
  • E A5 E
    I don't spend time listening to other people's words
    A5 A/G# A/F# F#sus2add9*
  • Sometimes they're right most times the reverse
    E A5 E
    They say the best is for the best when the best is for the worse
  •

  • Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times

    E A5 E
  • Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
    E A5 E
    Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
