[Verse 1]
A
Living a life without you
A
Living a life without you
A
I'm gonna lie for it, living a life of it
A
Staying alive without you
    D
I'm living a life for a woman
D
I'm stringing a line with it, now that she's gone with it
A
Living a life without you
A
Living a life without you
E
Hey Joe, you know what I mean
E
It's never been done before
E
A hard ride was never my scene
E                              C
But now I'm coming back for more
A
Living a life of it
A
Living a life of it

[Chorus]
           D
And it's a hard ride down a rocky road
       A
It's a hard, hard ride all on your own
       D
It's a hold on with all you've got
           E
Oh, It's a hard...
           G         D      C     A       N.C.
Oh, it's a hard ride down a rocky road

[Verse 2]
A
Living a life without you
A
Living a life without you
A
It's running away with me, look at the change in me
A
Sleeping alone without you
D
When I get up in the morning
D
It's no good believing what I've been dreaming
A
Living a life without you
A
Living a life without you
E
All right, it's over and done
E
She's never coming back to me
E
A hard ride is what I've become
                          C
From now until my dying day
A
Living a life of it
A
Living a life of it

[Chorus]
           D
And it's a hard ride down a rocky road
       A
It's a hard, hard ride all on your own
       D
It's a hold on with all you got
           E
Oh, It's a hard...
           G         D      C     A
Oh, it's a hard ride down a rocky road

[Harmonica Solo]
A    D A  D A

[Chorus]
        D
I got a hard ride, ain't nothing new
       A
With a rocking roll, rollin without you
       D
It's a long time since you've been gone
           E
And it's a hard ride
             D
Yeah, it's a hard, hard, hard, hard ride
            A
Yeah it's a hard, hard, hard, hard, hard ride
          D
Oh it's a hard, hard, hard, hard, hard ride
          E
Oh it's a hard...
               G    D      C     A
Oh it's a hard ride down a rocky road
A
(It's a Hard Ride)

[Outro]
A
     Living a life away, living a life away
A
Living a life away, living a life away
