Same old bills on the dresser

Same old pans in my kitchen

On the same old TV set

Talking bout a big depression

Hard times is a daddy and a mother

Livin' in a mansion and hatin' each other
C                         Am
Hard times is losin' your faith
F                         G7
And watchin' your spirits fall

Brothers got the same old trains
G7                    Am
The same old love and laughter
F                    G7
Playin' the same old games
C
I know you want to sail the south seas
F                 C
And I want to see Paree

But as long as there's a bed to lie in
F                                G7
There's still a lot of sights to see
