Gdim7
Ow!
             A9
Help me out, dig

[Verse 1]
           A9              A9                A9        A9
All I do is grunt and groan, hurts me to walk anywhere
                        A9         A9
Went to see my physician, Dr. Jones

                   A9              A9
He took my trousers off, told me to cough
F7                                 A9
Doctor says there ain't nothin' to discuss
F7                           Gdim7
He tells me any day, I might have to wear a truss

[Chorus 1]
F7                 G7           A9                A9
Living with a hernia, all the time, such aggravation
F7                 G7        A9           A9
Living with a hernia, gonna be my ruination
F7                 G7                      Gdim7
Living with a hernia, got to have an operation
           A9
Feel so old

[Verse 2]
                A9          A9                A9
Too much bad pain, good gawd, drives me insane
         A9           A9            A9                   A9
Can't run, barely crawl, got a bulge in my intestinal wall
              A9             A9                 A9
Walk real funny, bless my soul, can't play tennis
                    A9
And it's hard to bowl
F7
You can't even do the splits now, say it
G7                            Am7                         Gdim7
Better call it quits now, now I'm sick of all this dancin' anyhow

[Chorus 2]

F7                 G7           A9                A9
Living with a hernia, all the time, such aggravation
F7                 G7        A9           A9
Living with a hernia, gonna be my ruination
F7                 G7                      Gdim7
Living with a hernia, got to have an operation
 A9                A9            A9               A9
I live with a hernia, can't get up, can't bend over
     A9                A9
Now I live with a hernia, wait a minute
