 E A x2
Oo hoo

E
People always comin' up to me and askin' 

                     A
"Dolly, what's your secret? 

     E      
With all you do, your attitude 

           A
How do you keep it?" 

          F#m                          B
Well, I'm not the Dalai Lama, but I'll try 

   F#m                       B
To offer up a few words of advice. 

                  E       A
You better get to livin', givin' 

B                                    E
Don't forget to throw in a little forgivin' 

    A                B
And lovin' on the way

                  E        A 
You better get to knowin', showin'

  B                  C#m        B            A                           
A little bit more concern about where you're goin' 

                     B
Just a word unto the wise 

                  E         A
You better get to livin'. 

  E                          
A girlfriend came to my house

                                     A 
Started cryin' on my shoulder Sunday evening (Better get to living)

        E 
She was spinnin' such a sad tale 

                                          A
I could not believe the yarn that she was weavin' (Better get to living)

   F#m                           B 
So negative the words she had to say

       F#m                   B 
I said if I had a violin I'd play.

                           E       A
I said you'd better get to livin', givin'

   B
Be willing and forgivin' 

A         E       A                 B
Cause all healing has to start with you

                E        A 
You better stop whining, pining

B                  C#m  
Get your dreams in line

              E                
And then just shine, design, refine

      B
Until they come true

                      E 
And you better get to livin'. 

G                         C
Your life's a wreck, your house is mess

         D
And your wardrobe way outdated 

G                   C               D
All your plans just keep on falling through

G/B              C             D        Em 
Overweight and underpaid, underappreciated

C                        
I'm no guru, but I'll tell you 

B
This I know is true. 

                  E       A/E
You better get to livin', givin'

  B/E
A little more thought about bein' 

              E          A/E             B/D#
A little more willin' to make a better way (Make a better way)

                E 
Don't sweat the small stuff 

          A
Keep your chin up

     B                     C#m      B
Just hang tough, and if it gets too rough 

     A                 B
Fall on your knees and pray 

    F#m     A     B
And do that every day 

                   E         A
Then you'll get to livin'. 

    E
The day we're born we start to die

A
Get to livin' (Better get to living)

E
Share your dreams and share your laughter 

                               A
Make some points for the great hereafter. 

             E
Better start carin', Better start sharin'

        A             B    E                        
And you better get to livin'...
