[Verse]
A             E                  A
Lately I been leanin' toward the blues
A
Lazy, loafin', good for nothin', no count knock around
A
Ain't been worth a honkin' dime since country come to town
          D                                                                 A
I tell ya boys this workin' up to somethin's got me down to nothin' left to lose
E                                A
Lately I been leanin' toward the blues

[Chorus]
A             E                  A
Lately I been leanin' toward the blues
D                                   A
I've been leanin' lately toward the blues
     E                              A
Done held onto it 'til I can't turn loose

[Verse]
A
Everything is everything, everybody knows
A
We can't get nowhere by steppin' on each other's toes
        D                                                            A
When it comes to cuttin' corners, honey, anyway you get here is just fine
E                             A
Lately we been pickin' double time

[Chorus]
A             E                  A
Lately I been leanin' toward the blues
D                                A
I been leanin' lately toward the blues
     E                          A
Done wore a soul in my ol' holy shoes, got it all
