George Jones – These Days I Barely Get By (Guitar)

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

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                       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
