life can be mighty monotonous, 
                        Gm 
We're always battlin' boredom; 
                                    Gm 
Where, tell me where has it gotten us? 
                       Cm 
Everything's still so doggone hum-drum!

Fightin' the future and mad at the past!

Ooh honey,

Then you just can't do as you choose;

Just gotta live with the hum-drum blues!

Don't know which way I'm goin', 
   Gm 
I don't know which way I come from? 
                         Gm 
Rainin', a shine or a-snowin', 
                         Gm 
Everything's so doggone hum-drum!

Sure would do me a world o' good,

'Cause I've got the blues!

we could get together and lose
