[F] [C] [G]
[C] It's a hell of a job just getting by on a paycheck [F] every week
[G] Just one day after payday I could swear my [C] wallet leaks
Or my wife's got a hole in her pantyhose and the kids all [F] need new shoes
I tell you [C] folks I've got them high cost of living blues
[F] [G]
[C]
[F] [G]
[C] On my back it aches and my feet are sore from walking [F] in the street
[G] Trying to figure out a way so I can make [C] ends meet
The price of gas is going up fast
I just [F] heard on the news and walking [C] never helps them high cost of living blues
[F] [G]
[C]
[F] [C]
Well, it ain't no joke when you got no smokes and the landlord [F] needs to rent
[G] So here am I sitting high and dry with all my [C] money spent
I'd go downtown and tie one on but I [E] can't afford [F] the booze
And the price of [C] rye has gone so high [G] with the cost of living [C] blues
[F] [G]
[C]
[F] [C]
Oh, I can't afford to live these days and I can't afford [F] to die
[G] So who's gonna pay the funeral bill when the price is up so [C] high?
If I put away about a buck a day and I live till [F] I'm 92
Then I can [C] die and beat them high [G] cost of [C] living blues
[F] [G]
[C]
[F] [C]
No, it ain't no joke when you got no smokes and the landlord [F] needs to rent
[G] So here am I sitting high and dry with all my [C] money spent
I'd go downtown and tie one on but I can't afford [F] the booze
And the price of rye [C] has gone so high with the cost of living blues
And the price of rye has gone so high with the cost of living blues
