Tough People Do
Recorded by Trace Adkins
(Capo on 3)
Intro.: (G) x 4 bars
D G
Back in '39 she was 26, the wife of a soldier tryin' to raise four kids
C G
On rationed out beans and watered down milk, tryin' to keep 'em all warm with a patchwork quilt
Em D C
That great depression ended about 1945, but grandma lived to be 92
D C G
See, tough times don't last, tough people do
(Chorus)
G
Tough people pull themselves up by the bootstraps when they hit hard luck
And they stay strong and they keep on fightin' like they don't know how to lose
D C G
Tough times don't last, tough people do
C
Those talkin' heads on CNN, say we'll never get out of this hole we're in
C G
The price of gas is up and the market's down and there's a bunch of empty houses in every town
Em D
Well, I'd interrupt that program with a little headline of my own
C
This just in from the old red, white and blue
D C G
Tough times don't last, tough people do
(Chorus)
G
Tough people pull themselves up by the bootstraps when they hit hard luck
And they stay strong and they keep on fightin' like they don't know how to lose
D C G
Tough times don't last, tough people do
G
I've been out of work since mid July, my bank account's about bone dry
C G
Been lookin' for a job no luck so far, but I bought a little time when I sold my car
Em D C
Well, I'll go dig a ditch if that's what it takes, baby, somehow or another we'll get through
D C D C
Tough times don't last, tough times don't last
