E                                                 E 
We-e-e-e-ll, My woman left me and I?m so glad she did 
            A                                         E 
You know my old gal left me and I?m glad she took the kids 
          B                                                E 
Now I got less mouths to feed and more room to sleep in my bed 

Chorus: 
          E 
I got the good news blues, I?m smiling on a rainy day 
          A 
I got the good news blues, I sung all my troubles away 
            B                                  E 
Aint got no aching bones, aint got no bills to pay 
 

              E 
You see these politicians just tell you what they think we want to hear 
              A 
You know it?s here one day and then it?s right out that other ear 
              B                                           E 
You know they promise us whiskey and won?t even give us a beer
