Everything's Okay Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G][C][D][G]
I went to the country
[C]- just the other day
To [D]see my Uncle Bill and
sorta pass the time [G]away
I asked him how he'd been - since
[C]last, I'd passed his way
He rubbed [D]his chin - here's what
he had to [G]say.

[Verse 2]
"My wife's [C]been sick
- the young'ns, too
An[D]d I'm durn near - down
with the [G]flu
The cow's gone dry
- and them [C]hens won't lay
But [D]- we're still a- livin'
- so everything's [G]Okay

[Verse 3]
The hogs took the cholera and they've
all [C]done died
The [D]bees got mad - and they
[G]left the hive
The weevils got the corn
and the [C]rain rotted the hay
[D]But - we're still a- livin'
[G]- so everything's Okay

[Verse 4]
The porch rotted [G]down
- that's [C]more expense
The [D]durned old mule - he tore
down the [G]fence
The mortgage is due and [C]- I can't pay
But [D]- we're still a- livin'
[G]- so everything's Okay

[Verse 5]
The cow broke in [G]the field and
[C]eat up the beans
[D]The durn rabbits - they got the
turnip [G]greens
And my Ma- in- law just moved [C]in to stay
But [D]- we're still a- livin'
- so [G]everything's Okay

[Verse 6]
My land's [G]so poor - so [C]hard
and "yeller"
You have to [D]set on a sack of fetilizer to
[G]raise an "umbreller"
And it rains out here - n
[C]early ever' day
[D]But - we're still a- livin'
[G]- so everything's Ok

[Verse 7]
The well's gone [G]dry and I have
[C]to tote the water
[D]Up from the spring - about
a mile [G]and a quarter
My helper, he quit - for the [C]lack of pay
But [D]- we're still a- livin' - so
[G]everything's Okay

[Verse 8]
The house [G]it leaks - it
[C]needs a new top
When it [D]rains - it wets ever'thing [G]we got
The chimney fell down - just yester[C]day
But [D]- we're still a- livin'
- so [G]everything's Okay

[Verse 9]
The corn meals [G]gone and the
[C]meat's run out
Got [D]nothin' to kill to put
in the smoke[G]house
The preacher's comin'
Sunday - to [C]spend the day
But [D]- we're still a- livin'
[G]- so everything's Okay

[Verse 10]
The canned [G]stuff's spoiled
- else the [C]jar's got broke
And [D]all we got left is one
[G]old Billy goat
We're gonna have a new baby
about the first [C]of May
But [D]- we're still a- livin'
- so everything's [G]Okay

[Verse 11]
My crop [G]it rotted [C]- in the ground
I [D]asked for another loan but the banker
turned [G]me down
But - we're still a- livin' and
we're pray[C]in' for better days
[D]So - after all,
ever'thing's in purty [G]good shape."
