#1. F Bb Well, my car sounds like an old tin can, my wife went off with another man F And I strained a muscle of my fishing hand..my C F income tax is due. #2. F Bb Now, I lost my money in a poker game and I think my left leg is a-goin' lame. Gm F My brother asked if I'd change my name and that's what I think I'll do. #3. F Bb My doctor told me not to smoke, drink nothing stronger than a Coke. F G I'm not even supposed to hear dirty jokes for I'd C F laugh and strain my heart. #4. F Bb I had every ailment known to man, from the African mumps F to dishpan hands..I lost every race that I ever ran. C F I didn't even get a start. CHORUS: F So, you think you've got troubles, the more you C try the worse you get. F Bb F So, you think the world don't like you, well, brother C F you ain't heard nothing yet. #5. F Bb Now, some people call me a pessimist, they say that I oughta make the best of this. F G C Well, maybe I am a pessimist, that's something that I F wouldn't know. #6. F But one thing I do know, I'll tell you right now, Bb I'm a-milking the wrong end of this old cow. F G C There's too many wrinkles in this boy's brow, that stuff F has got to go. CHORUS: F So, you think you've got troubles, the more you C try the worse you get. F Bb F So, you think the world don't like you, well, brother C F you ain't heard nothing yet. OUTRO: F C So, I'm puttin' me a bar in the back of my car and drivin' F myself to drink. A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
