A bluesy rock song about life's hard lessons...

Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
Sometimes you've got to learn the hard way... (and maybe some people have it coming...)
Lyrics
The Hard Way Intro Am CD Am CD Am CDCB7B7.. AmAmEmEmBm BbmAmEmB7. AmAmEmEmBm BbmAmEmEm to chorus Thought you knew what you were doing Thought you were in control But now you heading for ruin It's the end of your roll You had a view of your future But it was clear as mud Thought you'd be rolling in money But now you're sweating blood It was a time of plenty It was a time for greed But now your gas tanks empty Theres no way to succeed You thought the world was your plaything Thought you could trust to luck Sure you were on the way in But now youve come unstuck DmDmAmAmDmDmE E7 Am CD Am CD Am CDCB7B7.. So sure of yourself you just couldn't be told Young and confident strong and bold You were setting up your court and holding sway But you were just another dog gonna have your day Sometimes you gotta learn the hard way You gotta learn the hard way x2 It all seemed so simple Just a one way street You thought your plans were ample You thought the taste was sweet You pushed beyond your limits You overplayed your hand Another general Custer You've had your final stand
