Hard Skool chords by Guns N’ Roses

[Intro]

 A#  A7 Dm F A# A7 Dm 
 
 
[Verse]

A#              A7   Dm                   F
 All cautions made,  every chance was given
A#            A7       Dm           F
 No effort spared to save what we had
A#             A7      Dm            F
 All in good faith I would not hesitate
A#             A7       Dm          F
 To extend myself and lend you my hand
 
 
[Chorus]

                        Dm             A5  Gm
But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way
             A#                 F5  Dm
Had to be a fool, had to throw it  all away
                                     A5   Gm
Too hard school and you thought you were here to stay
               A#                   F5  Dm
If that were true, it wouldn't matter  anyway
 
 
[Instrumental]

Dm  A5 Gm  A# F5 Dm
Dm  A5 Gm  A# F5 Dm 
 
[Verse]

A#            A7   Dm            F
 As tempers fade,  and lies forgiven
A#             A7           Dm           F
 No cause embraced could break what we had
A#         A7   Dm              F
 In its place,  a storm is liftin'
A#             A7                  Dm        F
 I would've thought you could be more of a man
 
 
[Chorus]

                        Dm             A5  Gm
But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way
             A#                 F5  Dm
Had to be a fool, had to throw it  all away
                                     A5   Gm
Too hard school and you thought you were here to stay
               A#                   F5  Dm
If that were true, it wouldn't matter  anyway
