[Verse 1]
C                           G
   Today I'm livin' like a rich man's son
Bb                          F
   Tomorrow morning I could be a bum
C                            G
   It doesn't matter which direction though
Bb                        F
   I know a woman in New Mexico, oh

[Chorus]
Dm7              G     Dm7        G
  Worst comes to worst, I'll get along
Dm7            G                Dm7        G
  I don't know how but sometimes I can be strong

[Verse 2]
C                        G
   And if I don't have a car I'll hitch
Bb                            F
   I got a thumb and she's a son of a bitch
C                            G
   I'll do my writing on my road guitar
Bb                          F
   And make a livin' at a piano bar, oh

[Chorus]
Dm7              G     Dm7        G
  Worst comes to worst, I'll get along
Dm7            G                Dm7        G
  I don't know how but sometimes I can be strong

[Bridge]
G    Am    Bb
Woo, woo, woo
Bb                F
Lightning and thunder
 C                                  G
Flashed across the roads we drove upon
Bb                                F
Oh, but it's clear skies we're under
 Am                   G              G7
When I am together, when I sing the song

[Instrumental]
C   G   Bb   F
C   G   Bb   F

[Chorus]
Dm7              G     Dm7        G
  Worst comes to worst, I'll get along
Dm7            G                Dm7        G
  I don't know how but sometimes I can be strong

[Verse 3]
     C                 G
Oh, fun ain't easy if it ain't free
Bb                        F
   Too many people got a hold on me
C                             G
   But I know something that they don't know
Bb                        F
   I know a woman in New Mexico, oh

[Outro]
Dm7              G     Dm7        G
  Worst comes to worst, I'll get along
Dm7            G                Dm7        G
  I don't know how but sometimes I can be strong
Dm7              G     Dm7        G
  Worst comes to worst, I'll get along
Dm7            G                Dm7        G
  I don't know how but sometimes I can be strong
Dm7                   G     Dm7        G
  Oh, worst comes to worst, I'll get along
Dm7            G                Dm7        G
  I don't know how but sometimes I can be strong
