[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
ARain comin' down and the roof won't hold 'er
Well I Dlost my job and I feel a little older
ECar won't run and our love's grown colder
Maybe things'll get a little Abetter, in the mornin'
EMaybe things'll get a little Abetter 
The Aclothes need washin' and the fire won't start
DKids all cryin' and you're breakin' my heart
EWhole damn place is fallin' apart, but
Maybe things'll get a little Abetter, in the mornin'
EMaybe things'll get a little Abetter
[Chorus]
Work your Efingers to the bone what do you Dget ... ?
Boney Afingers... Eboney Afingers
[Verse 2]
AI've been broke as long as I remember
Well I Dget a little money, I gotta run and spend 'er
EWhen I try to save it, pretty woman come and take it
Sayin' maybe things'll get a little Abetter, in the mornin'
EMaybe things'll get a little Abetter.
[Chorus]
Work your Efingers to the bone what do you Dget ... ?
Boney Afingers... Eboney Afingers
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
AThe grass won't grow and the sun's too hot
The Dwhole darn world is goin' to pot
EMight as well like it 'cause you're all that I've got
But, maybe things'll get a little Abetter, in the mornin'
EMaybe things'll get a little Abetter
[Chorus]
Work your Efingers to the bone what do you Dget ... ?
Boney Afingers... Eboney Afingers
[Verse 4]
ARain comin' down and the roof won't hold 'er
Well I Dlost my job and I feel a little older
ECar won't run and our love's grown colder
Maybe things'll get a little Abetter, in the mornin'
EMaybe things'll get a little Abetter 
[Chorus]
Work your Efingers to the bone what do you Dget ... ?
Boney Afingers... Eboney Afingers
Work your Efingers to the bone what do you Dget ... ?
