These Days I Barely Get By

These Days (I Barely Get By)

capo2

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
