IT DON'T COME EASY
As recorded by Jesse Welles
(2025 release)
Capo 2nd fret
[Intro]
F F Cm C F
[Verse 1]
F F CmInto problematical darkness
C CmOf an arcane world I rode
COn the back of a worm called Icondeath
Cm FAs it had been foretold
F CmWhere the lava flowed over the plains
C CmAustere with heat and black
CA valley of the bones
CmWhere people go
FAnd don't come back
[Chorus]
FOh my god
F/GmOh my god
CmOh my god
C F It don't come easy
[Verse 2]
F F CmI said wizard you be kind now
C CmI'm in need of some advice
CAnd talk no speak of majick blood
Cm FOr good-son sacrifice
F CmAnd i begged to know if justice
C CmIs a form far-out or in
CHe said son, there is no justice
CmThere's jus what
CAnd that just is
[Chorus]
FOh my god
F/GmOh my god
CmOh my god
C F It don't come easy
[Harmonica Solo]
F F/Gm Cm C F
[Verse 3]
F F CmIn the marketplace of souls
C CmI gave my only silver piece
CAnd traded it for a mania
Cm F/GmChemical urgency
F CmAnd I staggered into ergs
C CmWhere the wind blows without relent
CAnd I still don't know what livin cost
Cm FBut I can tell you what I spent
[Chorus]
FOh my god
F/GmOh my god
CmOh my god
C F It don't come easy
[Verse 4]
F/Gm F CmWeren't it you who pierced the dragon
C CmWeren't it you who led us out
COf a land so damn oppressive
Cm FAgainst hope and with great doubt
F CmDid we not amble out of Egypt
C CmInto wilderness so dry
CWeren't there graves enuff in Memphis
Cm FThat we've been brought here to die?
[Chorus]
FOh my god
F/GmOh my god
CmOh my god
C F It don't come easy
F/Gm FOh my god
F/GmOh my god
CmOh my god
C F God Go easy
[Outro-Harmonica Solo]
