Verse 1:

G    F#m          Em    D
 Hey kids dig the first takes,
G           F#m           Em      D
 Ain't that some interpre-tation?
G             F#m
 When Sinatra sings,
        D             Bm
Against Nelson Riddle strings,
G     A          D
 Then takes a va-cation.

Chorus 1:

          G    D
Seen some hard times,
           G   D
Drawn some bad lines,
            G    A      (n.C)
No time for shoe-shines.
              G       G/F#  Em  D
Hard nose the highway.

Verse 2:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/v/van_morrison/hard_nose_the_highway_crd.html ]
G           F#m
 I was tore down,
        Em    D
At the dead's place,
G       F#m         Em     D
 Shaved head at the organ.
G                F#m
 But that wasn't half as bad,
      D       Bm
As it was, oh no;
G  A            D
    Belfast and Boston.

Chorus 2:

          G    D
Seen some hard times,
           G   D
Drawn some bad lines,
            G    A      (n.C)
No time for shoe-shines.

 Put your money where your mouth is,
G            F#m           Em     D
 Then we can get something going.
G            F#m
 In order to win,
You must be prepared,
                        D         Bm
You must be prepared to lose some-time,
    G            A         D
And leave one or two cards showing.
