Key:
A [Verse 1]
A Rain comin' down and the roof won't hold 'er
D Well I lost my job and I feel a little older
E Car won't run and our love's grown colder
A Maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
E A Maybe things'll get a little better
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, but
A Maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
E A Maybe things'll get a little better [Chorus]
E Work your fingers to the bone what
D do you get ... ?
A E A Boney fingers... boney fingers [Verse 2]
Continues after the ad
A I've been broke as long as I remember
D Well I get a little money, I gotta run and spend 'er
E When I try to save it, pretty woman come and take it Sayin' maybe things'll get a little
A better, in the mornin'
E A Maybe things'll get a little better. [Chorus]
E Work your fingers to the bone what
D do you get ... ?

A The grass won't grow and the sun's too hot
D The whole darn world is goin' to pot
E Might as well like it 'cause you're all that I've got But, maybe things'll get a little
A better, in the mornin'
E A Maybe things'll get a little better [Chorus]
E Work your fingers to the bone what
D do you get ... ?
