Selection chords: Henry Walker

Intro: B F# B F# C# G# C# G# x2

B               F#   B E                  A   E
Must be getting early, clocks are running late,
F#                      B    E
Paint-by-number morning sky, looks so phony.
B                F#   B      E               A         E
Dawn is breaking everywhere, light a candle, curse the glare,
F#                         B      E
Draw the curtains, I donʼt care, ʼcause itʼs alright.

Chorus:
F# B        E
I  will get by,
F# B        E
I  will get by,
F# B        A E F#
I  will bet by,
          E     A E   B F# B F#
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.

C#m              F#      C#m                          F#
Itʼs a lesson to me, the Ables and the Bakers and the Cs
D#m      A#                    C#m                 F#
The ABCs we all must face, and try to keep a little grace.
C#m              F#      C#m                         F#
Itʼs a lesson to me, the deltas and the east and the freeze
D#m       A#               C#m                  F#m
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
