lyrics

Hardy

Chorus
Dm G
Hardy was, just like a hammer
Dm G
Hardy was, a pretty violent
Dm G
Man he was, really quite a fighter
Dm G
His temper told a tune of fire-y pain
Dm G hold G
His temper told a tune of fire-y pain

Dm G
Moon rise, they were together
Dm G
Secret, meeting on heather,
G F Dm
Feeling, foolish, giddy
Dm G
Lovers, are circumspect though
Dm G
Usually, they do suspect,
G F Dm Dm to Em (funk riff)
Feel those, people, watching

Chorus
Hardy was, worth a fortune Hardy was, one for cavorting
Hardy was, in desperation Always in a tight spot always down

Verse
Years, passed through love or marriage
If asked, he had no knowledge, Of Feelings, hidden, truly
Hardy, he was a drinker
Slow gin, ale is a loosener, Feeling, lately, lonely

Chorus
Hardy was, handsome in his manner
Hardy was, never short in stature
Hardy was, falling in the gutter
Slipping in the dirt in the ooze and the booze

Now his head’s, broken right open
He’s dead, been made forgotten, Hearing, no-one, talking
Secrets, he couldn’t share,
His lovers, scared but unhurt, Feeling, forever, foulin’

Repeat first chorus
