Tom: D
D A
I get up in the morning and I work hard in the day
E D
I can't wait 'til nighttime when I go out to play
A
First I'm on to Susie, then on to Mary Jane
D
Oh, how they drive me crazy but, Lord, it keeps me sane
[Chorus]
D A
I'm a hard lovin' man, I'll love you when I can
D
I don't make no promises or wear no wedding band
A
I'm a hard lovin' man, I hope you understand
D N.C.
When you're lovin' me, you're lovin' a hard lovin' man
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
A
I drive a '57 Chevy, no it ain't no Cadillac
E D
Got my pistol on the front seat, my whiskey in the back
A
I'm with Susie in the daytime and Mary Jane at night
D
I don't hear no complaining, they know I treat 'em right
[Chorus]
D A
I'm a hard lovin' man, I'll love you when I can
D
I don't make no promises or wear no wedding band
A
I'm a hard lovin' man, I hope you understand
D N.C. D
When you're lovin' me, you're lovin' a hard lovin' man
[Bridge]
G D
When they wake up in the morning and they find I slipped away
A D
I know they won't be angry, they knew I wouldn't stay
G D
They don't ask me where I'm going, they don't ask me where I've been
E A
All they wanna know is when I'm coming back again
[Chorus]
D A
'Cause I'm a hard lovin' man, I'll love you when I can
D
I don't make no promises or wear no wedding band
A
I'm a hard lovin' man, I hope you understand
D
When you're lovin' me, you're lovin' a hard lovin' man
[Chorus]
A
Hard lovin' man, I'll love you when I can
D
I don't make no promises or wear no wedding band
A
I'm a hard lovin' man, I hope you understand
D N.C.
When you're lovin' me, you're lovin' a hard lovin' man
