A
Rain comin' down and the roof won't hold 'er
D
Lost my job and I feel a little older
E
Car won't run and our love's grown colder
EE7A
But maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
EE7A
Maybe things'll get a little better.
VERSE TWO
A
The clothes need washin' and the fire won't start
D
Kids all cryin' and you're breakin' my heart
E
Whole damn place is fallin' apart
EE7A
Maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
E7A
Maybe things'll get a little better
Refrain:
AEE7D
Work your fingers to the bone - whadda ya get?
AE7A
Boney Fingers...Boney Fingers.
VERSE THREE
Yea! I've been broke as long as I remember
Get a little money and I gotta run and spend 'er
When I try to save it, pretty woman come and take it
Sayin' maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
Maybe things'll get a little better.
Refrain:
AEE7D
Work your fingers to the bone - whadda ya get?
AE7A
Boney Fingers..Boney Fingers.
PLAY VERSE ONE INSTRUMENTALLY (NO REFRAIN)
VERSE FOUR
The grass won't grow and the sun's too hot
The whole darn world is goin' to pot
Might as well like it 'cause you're all that I've got
But, maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
Maybe things'll get a little better.
Refrain:
AEE7D
Work your fingers to the bone - whadda ya get?
AE7A
Boney Fingers...Boney Fingers.
REPEAT VERSE ONE
REFRAIN
REPEAT REFRAIN....and end.
