Back in (D)'39 she was (G) 26, the wife of a soldier tryin' to raise four kids
On (C)rationed out beans and watered down milk, tryin' to (G)keep 'em all warm with a patchwork quilt
That (Em)great depression ended about (D)1945, but (C)grandma lived to be 92
See, (D) tough times don't (C) last, tough people (G)do

This (C) just in from the old red, white and blue
(D) Tough times don't (C) last, tough (G)people do

I've been (G)out of work since mid July, my bank account's about bone dry
Been (C)lookin' for a job no luck so far, but I (G)bought a little time when I sold my car
Well, (Em)I'll go dig a ditch (D)if that's what it takes, baby, (C)somehow or another we'll get through
(D) Tough times don't (C) last, (D) tough times don't (C) last
