Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Life gets tedious dont it
I think the line breaks are going to be a mess, but it's a Hank Thompson tune,

Life gets Tedious Don't It?

The sun comes up and the sun goes down
Hands on the clock keep a goin around
You just get up and its time to lay down
Life gets tedious don't it

The old roof leaks and the chimney leans
Theres a hole in the seat of my old blue jeans
And I've et' the last of the pork and beans
Life gets tedious don't it

There's a mouse a chawin at the pantry door
When he gets through he's sure gonna be sore
Cause there ain't a darn thing in there
The old gray mare he must be sick
I jabbed him in the rump with a pin on a stick
He humped his back but he wouldn't kick
Somethins cockeyed somewhere
Hound dogs howlin' So forlorn
He's a howlin' cause he's sitting on a thorn
Just too tired to move over

Water in the wells gettin lower and lower
I ain't had a bath for a month or more
but I heard it said and it's true I'm sure
Too much bathin will weaken ya
Should wash my face and comb my hair
But what's the use I ain't goin nowhere
And that's just wasted effort
Trials and troubles and troubles and woes
And now I'm gettin a cold in my nose
And so it goes and goes and goes
Life gets tedious Don't it
