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

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

D MajorD E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD

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

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

A augmentedA            D MajorD

Instrumental fill:
D MajorD E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD

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

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

D MajorD E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD

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

Instrumental fill:
D MajorD E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD

#7
D MajorD                E minorEm
The mouse been a' gnawin' on my cupboard door
      A augmentedA           D MajorD
He's been at it now for I guess a month or more
D MajorD              E minorEm
When he gets in there he's sure gonna be sore
A augmentedA            D MajorD
'Cause there ain't a darn thing in it.

D MajorD E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD

#8
D MajorD               E minorEm
Well, it's debts and taxes and pains and woes
A augmentedA           D MajorD
Aches and miseries and that's how it goes
D MajorD             E minorEm
And dow I'm detting a coad in the nose,
A augmentedA              D MajorD
 Life gets tasteless, don't it?

Instrumental fill:

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