E5                                                 E5 
We-e-e-e-ll, My woman left me and I?m so glad she did 
            A5                                         E5 
You know my old gal left me and I?m glad she took the kids 
          B5                                                E5 
Now I got less mouths to feed and more room to sleep in my bed 

Chorus: 
          E5 
I got the good news blues, I?m smiling on a rainy day 
          A5 
I got the good news blues, I sung all my troubles away 
            B5                                  E5 
Aint got no aching bones, aint got no bills to pay 
 

              E5 
You see these politicians just tell you what they think we want to hear 
              A5 
You know it?s here one day and then it?s right out that other ear 
              B5                                           E5 
You know they promise us whiskey and won?t even give us a beer
