E                      A           E
I woke up this morning aching with pain
E                 B7             E
Don't think I can work, but I'll try
E                         A
The cars in the shop so I thumbed all the way
   E            B7          E
Oh these days I barely get by
 
E                              A              E
I walked home from work and it rained all the way
E                B7         E
My wife left and didn't say why
E                              A
She laid all her bills on the desk in the hall
E               B7         E
Oh these days I barely get by
 
SLIDE CAPO TO 3
 
E                          A           E
Put my only two dollars on my favorite horse
 E           B7         E
He lost by a nose and I cried
E                                  A
Oh, my boss says come winter we'll all be laid off
E               B7         E
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
         E                       A
Worst of all is when she told me goodbye
   E            B7         E
Oh these days I barely get by
A  E               B7          E
Oh these days, one barely gets by
