EAE I woke up this morning aching with pain
EB7E Don't think I can work, but I'll try
EA The cars in the shop so I thumbed all the way
EB7E Oh these days I barely get by
EAE I walked home from work and it rained all the way
EB7E My wife left and didn't say why
EA She laid all her bills on the desk in the hall
EB7E Oh these days I barely get by
EAE Put my only two dollars on my favorite horse
EB7E He lost by a nose and I cried
EA Oh, my boss says come winter we'll all be laid off
EB7E Oh these days I barely get by
A These days I barely get by
E n/c B7 I want to give up, lay down and die
EA Worst of all is when she told me goodbye
EB7E Oh these days I barely get by
AEB7E
