#1: 
D                        Em 
The sun comes up and the sun goes down 
        A                     D 
And the hands on the clock go round and round 
D                          Em 
An' I just get up and it's time to lay down, 
A                        D 
Life gets tee-jus, don't it? 

#2: 
D                     Em 
My shoe's untied, but shucks, I don't care 
      A                D 
Cuz I reckon I ain't a-goin' nowhere, 
D                    Em 
I'd wash my face and comb my hair 
A                                D 
Huh, Just too much wasted effort.

#3: 
D                        Em 
I open the door and the flies swarm in 
           A                     D 
and when I shut the door  I'm a'sweating again 
D                     Em 
and in the process, I crack my shin 
A                        D 
Just one durned thing after another 

#4: 
D                        Em 
The cow went dry and the hens won't lay 
        A                      D 
And the fish all goodbyed last Saturday 
D                          Em 
My troubles keep pilin' up day by day 
No Chord 
(Long pause) And now I'm getting dandruff 

A                        D

#5: 
D                                      Em 
My old grey mule, you know I think the rascal's sick 
           A                            D 
For when I stuck him on the rump with a pin on a stick 
D                             Em 
He humped up his back, but he just wouldn't kick 
A                          D 
Theres something cock-eyed somewhere. 

#6 
D                    Em 
Old hounds a'howlin' so forlorn 
          A                D 
Thats the laziest dog that ever was born 
D                         Em 
He's howlin' because he's sittin' on a thorn 
A                          D 
An' he's just too tired to move over.

#6 
D                       Em 
Tin Roof leaks and the chimney leans, 
A                                    D 
An' there's a hole in the seat of my old blue jeans 
D                              Em 
And Ive ate up the last of the pork an' beans, 
A                            D 
Just can't depend on nuthin'

D                                Em 
The mouse been a' gnawin' on my cupboard door 
           A                      D 
He's been at it now for I guess a month or more 
D                           Em 
When he gets in  there he's sure gonna be sore 
A                        D 
'Cause there ain't a darn thing in it.

Well, it's debts and taxes and pains and woes 
A                      D 
Aches and miseries and that's how it goes 
D                          Em 
And dow I'm detting a coad in the nose, 
A                            D 
  Life gets tasteless, don't it?

The sun comes up and the sun goes down 
      A                D 
And the hands on the clock go round and roumd 
D                      Em 
I just get up and it's time to lay down, 
A                        D 
Life gets tee-jus, don't it?
