capo 2 — sounds 2 semitones higherIntro
A E A E G D G D x 3
Verse 1
Must be getting early
Clocks are running late
Paint by number morning sky
Looks so phony
verse 2
Dawn is breaking everywhere
Light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains, I don't care, cause
It's all right
Chorus
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive
Verse 3
I see you've got your list out
Say your piece and get out
Yes I get the gist of it, but
It's all right
Verse 4
Sorry that you feel that way,
The only thing there is to say
Every silver lining's got a
Touch of grey
Chorus
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive
Bridge 1
It's a lesson to me
The Ables and the Bakers and the C's
The ABC's we all must face
To try to keep a little grace
Bridge 2
It's a lesson to me,
The Deltas and the East and the Freeze
The ABC's we all think of,
To try to win a little love
Verse 5
I know the rent is in arrears,
The dog has not been fed in years
It's even worse than it appears,
It's all right
Verse 6
Cow is giving kerosene,
Kid can't read at seventeen
The words he knows are all obscene, but
It's all right
Chorus
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive
Verse 7
The shoe is on the hand it fits,
There's really nothing much to it
Whistle through your teeth and spit, 'cause
It's all right
Verse 8
Oh well a touch of grey
Kinda suits you anyway,
That was all I had to say, and
It's all right
Chorus
I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive
Outro
We will get by, we will get by, we will get by, we will survive
We will get by, we will get by, we will get by, we will survive . . . . .
