E                         A5        E
Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
E                          A5        E
She made me a shirt out of fives and dimes
          A5              A/G#         A/F#      F#sus2add9*
Now she's gone but when I wear it she crosses my mind
            E                             A5      E
And if the best is for the best then the best is unkind
E                             A5               E
I realized that Illinois was more than I could stand
E                                         A5         E
They say working's best 'cause poverty is hell on a man
       A5          A/G#              A/F#       F#sus2add9*
Now I ride a lazy river through the Mississippi fan
           E                              A5          E
And if the best is for the best then the best can be damned
*2
E                          A5       E
I spent a few years on the Queen of Spain
           E                          A5       E
She was a leaky little boat that went up in flames
           A5             A/G#            A/F#   F#sus2add9*
When the boiler blew some people started naming names
            E                                A5         E
But if the best is for the best I guess the best is to blame
    E                      A5     E
I spent a few more as the Cairo Crown
    E                          A5      E
A heavyweight wrestler in the Midwest towns
            A5           A/G#           A/F#   F#sus2add9*
But I was lonesome for a girl who could pin me down
              E                               A5            E
They say the best is for the best but that's not what I've found
*2, repeat intro
        E                             A5           E
Now I listen to my sweetheart and I listen to my thirst
   E                                   A5       E
I don't spend time listening to other people's words
  A5               A/G#       A/F#      F#sus2add9*
Sometimes they're right most times the reverse
              E                             A5             E
They say the best is for the best when the best is for the worse
E                         A5        E
Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
E                          A5        E
She made me a shirt out of fives and dimes
          A5              A/G#         A/F#      F#sus2add9*
Now she's gone but when I wear it she crosses my mind
            E                             A5      E
And if the best is for the best then the best is unkind
E                         A5        E
Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
E                         A5        E
Once I knew a girl in the hard hard times
