Verse 1:
D G Bm
Well her hair was as black as Pike County coal,
G A D
and her lips were as red as blood on the snow.
G Bm
She wore short vinyl skirts and them boots to her knees,
G A D
and she lived in the holler 'cross the mountain from me.
Chorus 1:
D A Bm
Hard Candy, you're so sweet
G
and I could never get enough.
D A Bm
Hard Candy, you're so easy
G
for me to love...
Verse 2:
D G Bm
Wild horses couldn't keep her old man out of jail
G A D
for bootleggin whiskey his sons helped him sale.
G Bm
Well growin' up in the holler wasn't nothin' by hard.
G A D
fightin' roosters and curd(?)dogs tied up in the yard.
Chorus 2:
D A Bm
Hard Candy, you're so sweet
G
and I could never get enough.
D A Bm
Hard Candy, you're so easy
G
for me to love...

Verse 3:
D G Bm
Well one night on the mountain back in the pine trees,
G A D
Candy let down her guard -- she said she loved me.
G Bm
We left the holler when her old man got put back in jail
G A D
and she told all her brothers to go straight to hell.
Chorus 3:
D A Bm
Hard Candy, you're so sweet
G
and I could never get enough.

Hard Candy, you're so easy
G
for me to love...
