Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: Not much to it really. The hard part is the timing during Rhy.
Fig 1a-c. It might feel a tad uncomfortable to come in on the "2" and the
lead-in to the A to B riff feels awkward, especially if you listen to the
guitars.

Hard times
Ace Frehley
[Intro: Drum fill]
[Rhy. Fig 1a]
[Rhy. Fig 1a]
When I recall, days in the city
And I think back, oh what a pity
Remembering how, it wasn't pretty
Every day life in the city
Out in the street, we had to take it
With friends around, we couldn't fake it
What wasn't there, we had to make it
Hangin' out down in the city
[Rhy. Fig 2a]
The hard times are dead and gone
But the hard times have made me strong
And the hard times have made me see
That the hard times ain't where I wanna be
[Rhy. Fig 1a]
We had to fight to be accepted
It wasn't right and I protested
For hangin' out we got arrested
Every day life in the city
We'd go to school and then we'd cut out
Go to the park and space our heads out
We called it fun but there was some doubt
Hangin' out down in the city
[Rhy. Fig 2a]
The hard times are dead and gone
But the hard times have made me strong
[Rhy. Fig 2a]
And the hard times have made me see
That the hard times ain't where I wanna be
[Rhy. Fig 3]
I don't wanna be there, or even think back
I don't wanna be there, now I'm on the right track, yeah

[Rhy. Fig 2a]
The hard times are dead and gone
But the hard times have made me strong
[Rhy. Fig 2b]
And the hard times have made me see
That the hard times ain't where I wanna be
[Rhy. Fig 3]
I don't wanna be there or even think back
I don't wanna be there, 'cause I'm on the right track
Now I'm on the right track
I'm finally on the right track
I'm finally on the right track
