[Verse 1]
G
 Your reputation's bad and it's getting worse
A
 You couldn't get a dollar for what your word is worth 
     G
Your bad luck runs you down like bad boys at your heels
A
 But I could never deny your eyes begging for one more meal
 
 
[Chorus]
E
 Sister wild rose, it's the hard road
A                       E
 But you and I know you can't ever let go

[Verse 2]
G
 You took it a long long way
G
 You back out and faith doing up
A                         A
 All that good good stuff thinking
 
It was worth the trade
 
 
[Verse 3]
G
 You let hold you down
G
 You let tear you apart
A
 And hold you in them
            A
Dirty hands squeeze your hostage heart
 
 
[Chorus]
E
 Sister wild rose, it's the hard road
A                       E
 But you and I know you can't ever let go
E
 Keep your love alive, it keeps you warm at night
A                        E
 Coming from the cold, my sister wild rose

[Chorus]
         E
Oh no, no, sister wild rose, it's the hard road
A                       E
 But you and I know you can't ever let go
  E
No, keep your love alive, Lord, it keeps you warm at night
A                        E
 Coming from the cold, my sister wild rose
