    1. Hard Times & Cigarettes

    From the recording Stay Primal

    Share

    I wanted to write the most twisted love song ever. Ronn Benway helped on the lyrics, too.

    Lyrics

    Hard Times & Cigarettes
    by Shane Speal & Ronn Benway
    (c) 2017 Shane Speal Music (BMI)

    Playing notes: New Orleans swing – G7 tuning, barre frets: 0 2 8 7

    We go together like hard times and cigarettes
    We go together like whiskey and deep regrets
    We go together like big block engines
    High octane … and car wrecks
    We go together like hard times and cigarettes

    We go together like darkness and silhouettes
    We go together like cities and suffragettes
    We go together like spin of roulettes
    Roulettes … and Soviets
    We go together like hard times and cigarettes

    Some people go together like two peas in a pod
    But you and me, baby… we’re just a little odd

    We go together like Hannibal and etiquettes
    We go together like midlife and red Corvettes
    We go together like slipknots
    Gallows poles and … broken necks
    We go together like hard times and cigarettes

    We go together like like dervishes and pirouettes
    We go together like countdown and empty threats
    We go together like pencils
    Pencils and old cassettes
    We go together like hard times and cigarettes
