INTRO: STUM THE "A"

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
    E               E7            A
But maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
E     E7                      A
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
E               E7           A
Maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
E7                           A
Maybe things'll get a little better

Refrain:
A          E             E7               D
Work your fingers to the bone - whadda ya get?
       A        E7     A
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:
A         E              E7               D
Work your fingers to the bone - whadda ya get?
      A        E7     A
Boney Fingers..Boney Fingers.

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:
A         E              E7               D
Work your fingers to the bone - whadda ya get?
      A         E7     A
Boney Fingers...Boney Fingers.
