[Intro]

[Verse]
A E A
Lately I been leanin' toward the blues
A
Lazy, loafin', good for nothin', no count knock around
A
Ain't been worth a honkin' dime since country come to town
D A
I tell ya boys this workin' up to somethin's got me down to nothin' left to lose
E A
Lately I been leanin' toward the blues
[Chorus]
A E A
Lately I been leanin' toward the blues
D A
I've been leanin' lately toward the blues
E A
Done held onto it 'til I can't turn loose
[Verse]
A
Everything is everything, everybody knows
A
We can't get nowhere by steppin' on each other's toes
D A
When it comes to cuttin' corners, honey, anyway you get here is just fine
E A
Lately we been pickin' double time
[Chorus]
A E A
Lately I been leanin' toward the blues
D A
I been leanin' lately toward the blues
E A
Done wore a soul in my ol' holy shoes, got it all
