Verse 1
D
A
D
In spite of all I do,
G
D
there's always someone finding fault.
A
If it ain't one thing, it's another.
D
They always find a way
G
D
to tell me I ain't worth my salt.
A
D
If it ain't one thing, it's another.
G
When I get in the middle,
D
people stand around and gloat
G
It looks like everybody tries
D
A
to use me for a dope
D
But when they call me shorty brother,
G
D
that's all she wrote
If it ain't one thing,
A
D
it's another
Whenever I got cigarettes,
G
D
I never have a match
A
And then sometimes it's just vice versa
D
I always start twitchin'
G
D
when it's impolite to scratch
If it ain't one thing,
A
D
it's somethin' worse -er
G
My shoes are always shined up
D
but there's patches on my clothes
G
Get one thing fixed
and the other breaks
D
A
and that's the way it goes
D
And thinkin' about the atom bomb
G
D
don't help none, knows
A
D
A

If it ain't one thing, it's another

D
A
D
I had to see my doctor
G
D
about a week or so ago
A
And he talked to me just like a brother
D
He said my blood was healthy,
G
D
but the pressure's kinda low
A
D
If it ain't one thing, it's another
G
He told me to be careful,
D
or someday I'd up and die
G
He said you'll have to die,
D
A
and I told him I would try
D
Just when I had to live on milk,
G
D
the dog -gone -cow went dry
If it ain't one thing,
A
D
it's another
Sometimes I think I'll end it
G
by committing suicide
D
But that thought ain't
A
too hard to smother
D
I'd only go below and wind
G
D
up barbecued or fried
A
D
If it ain't one thing, it's another
G
One day I even put the
D
poison in my coffee cup
G
And then I just remembered
D
A
that my insurance ain't paid up
D
It goes to show that anything
G
D
I try is bound to flop
If it ain't one thing,
A
it's another
D
D
