[E]We-e-e-e-ll, My woman left me and I'm so glad sh[E]e did
You know my [A]old gal left me and I'm glad she took th[E]e kids
Now I got [B]less mouths to feed and more room to sleep in my [E]bed
Chorus:
I got the [E]good news blues, I'm smiling on a rainy day
I got the [A]good news blues, I sung all my troubles away
Aint got no [B]aching bones, aint got no bills to [E]pay
You see these [E]politicians just tell you what they think we want to hear
You know it'[A]s here one day and then it's right out that other ear
You know they [B]promise us whiskey and won't even give us [E]a beer
Chorus
Instrumental solos
Chorus
Aint got no aching bones, aint got no bills I'm gonna pay
