JESUS AND BARTENDERS
DARYLE SINGLETARY
STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART

CHORUS:
THEY BOTH KNOW A MAN IN TROUBLE WHEN THEY SEE ONE
AND THEY’RE BOTH WILLING TO LISTEN WHEN HE TALKS
ANGER AND DEPRESSION, TEARFUL CONFESSIONS
JESUS AND BARTENDERS, HEAR IT ALL
JESUS AND BARTENDERS, HEAR IT ALL

THEY HEAR THINGS THAT MEN DON’T TELL THEIR WIVES
SINFUL SECRETS WHISKEY BRINGS TO LIGHT
ONE MAN OFFERS COMFORT FROM THE CROSS
THE OTHER ONLY COMFORTS ON THE ROCKS

REPEAT CHORUS

WELL IF YOU’RE AT THE END OF YOUR ROPE
EITHER ONE WILL SERVE YOU
BUT JUST ONE OFFERS HOPE

REPEAT CHORUS

CORRECTIONS WELCOME

These Days I Barely Get By
By Daryle Singletary
12/13/2011

Capo 2

I woke up this morning aching with pain
Don’t think I can work, but I’ll try
The car’s in the shop so I thumbed all the way
Oh, these days I barely get by

I walked home from work and it rained all the way
My wife left and didn’t say why
She laid all our bills on the desk in the hall
Oh, these days I barely get by

Key Change to D#
Put my only two dollars on my favorite horse
He lost by a nose and I cried
D# D& G#
Oh, my boss says come winter we’ll all be laid off
Oh, these days I barely get by

These days I barely get by
I want to give up, lay down and die
Worst of all is when she told me goodbye
Oh, these days I barely get by

Oh, these days, one barely gets by
