Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

You've heard the story you know how it goes

Once upon a garden we were lovers with no clothes

Fresh from the soil we were beautiful and true

 In control of our emotions till we ate the poison fruit

And now its...

Hard to be

Hard to be

Hard to be

 A decent Human being

 Wait just a minute

 You expect me to believe

 that all this misbehaving grew from one enchanted tree

 And helpless to fight it we should all be satisfied

 With the magical explanation for why the living die

And why it's...

Hard to be

Hard to be

Hard to be

 A decent Human being

Childbirth is painful toil to grow our food

Ignorance made us hungry

Information made us no good

 Every burden misunderstood

I swung my tassel to the left side of my cap

 Knowing after graduation there would be no going back

 and no congratulations from my faithful family

 some of whom are already fasting to intercede for me

Because it's...

Hard to be

Hard to be

 


Hard to be

A decent human being
