Capo 2
I [D]woke up this [D7]morning [G]aching with [D]pain
Don't [D]think I can [A]work, but I'll [D]try[A]
The [D]car's in the [D7]shop so I [G]thumbed all the way
Oh, [D]these days I [A]barely get [D]by
I walked home from work and it rained all the way
My wife left and didn't say why
She laid all our bills on the desk in the hall
Oh, these days I barely get by
Key Change to D#
Put my [D#]only two [D7#]dollars on [G#]my favorite [D#]horse
He [D#]lost by a [A#]nose and I [D#]cried[A#]
D# D& G#
Oh, my boss says come winter we'll all be laid off
Oh, [D#]these days I [A#]barely get [D#]by
[G#]These days I barely get by
I want to [D#]give up, lay down and [A#]die
Worst of [D#]all is when she [D7#]told me good[G#]bye
Oh, [D#]these days I [A#]barely get [D]by
Oh, [D#]these days, one [A#]barely gets [G#]by [D#]
