C                      F           C 
I woke up this morning aching with pain
                  G7            C
Don't think I can work but I'll try
                          F
The car's in the shop so I thumbed all the way
   C            G7         C
Oh these days I barely get by

                              F               C   
I walked home from work and it rained all the way
                G7         C
My wife left and didn't say why
                              F
She laid all her bills on the desk in the hall
   C            G7         C 
Oh these days I barely get by

                           F           C
Put my only two dollars on my favorite horse
             G7         C
He lost by a nose and I cried
                                  F  
Oh my boss says come winter we'll all be laid off
   C            G7         C
Oh these days I barely get by

F
These days I barely get by
  C                            G7
I want to give up lay down and die
      C                          F
Worst of all is when she told me goodbye
   C            G7         C
Oh these days I barely get by
 
F                 G7          C
Oh these days one barely gets by
