Intro: CGCGDADA x2
CGCFA#F
Must be getting early, clocks are running late,
GCF
Paint-by-number morning sky, looks so phony.
CGCFA#F
Dawn is breaking everywhere, light a candle, curse the glare,
GCF
Draw the curtains, I donʼt care, ʼcause itʼs alright.
Chorus:
GCF
I will get by,
GCF
I will get by,
GCA#FG
I will bet by,
FA#FCGCG
I will survive.
I see youʼve got your list out, say your piece and get out,
Yes I get the gist of it, but itʼs all right.
Sorry that you feel that way, the only thing there is to say,
Every silver liningʼs got a touch of grey.
Chorus.
DmGDmG
Itʼs a lesson to me, the Ables and the Bakers and the Cs
EmBDmG
The ABCs we all must face, and try to keep a little grace.
DmGDmG
Itʼs a lesson to me, the deltas and the east and the freeze
EmBDmGm
The ABCs, we all think of, try to give a little love
I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years,
Itʼs even worse than it appears, but itʼs all right.
Cows giving kerosene, kid canʼt read at seventeen,
The words he knows are all obscene, but itʼs all right.
Chorus.
The shoe is on the hand it fits, thereʼs really nothing much to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit, ʼcause, itʼs all right.
Oh, well, a Touch of Grey, kind of suits you anyway
That was all I had to say, itʼs all right.
I will get by, I will get by
I will get by, I will survive
We will get by, we will get by
We will get by, we will survive
