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
