[Verse 1]
C         G        Am               C
Harry and Joe move south with their wives
  F                                G
Enjoying the golden years of their lives
    C            G          Am           C
But life doesn't always pay back what it owes
F        Dm             G         C   G
Suddenly there was just Harry and Joe

[Verse 2]
    C            G       Am         C
Now Joe'd been a teacher gentle and calm
F                                   G
Harry a teamster with a fuse like a bomb
C           G         Am           C
Thrown in together by life's crazy whims
     F          Dm              G        C     C
That pepper and salt like their unshaven chins

[Chorus]
F         Dm  G           C
Harry and Joe lean to and fro
     F            Dm        G         C
They lean on each other wherever they go
A#7        F              Dm7           G    G7
Two lonely fighters doing all that they know
   C                F   G         C   G   C  G
To get through each day Harry and Joe

[Verse 3]
C         G   Am          C
Harry and Joe cheating at cards
     F                                    G
In a Florida apartment that smells like cigars
     C             G                  Am              C
They bragged about grand kids and the wives they love so
       F         Dm       G         C   C7
In the late afternoons of Harry and Joe

[Chorus]
F         Dm  G           C
Harry and Joe lean to and fro
     F            Dm        G         C
They lean on each other wherever they go
A#7        F              Dm7           G    G7
Two lonely fighters doing all that they know
   C                F   G         C   C
To get through each day Harry and Joe

[Bridge]
   F                    G
An ambulance siren from across the backyard
F            C         D7            G
Joe looks at Harry and deals out the cards

[Chorus]
F         Dm  G           Am
Harry and Joe lean to and fro
          F            Dm        G         C
Like they lean on each other wherever they go
     A#7          F         Dm                G    G  Em7  D7
What tomorrow may deal them there's no way to know
   C                   F     G         C   C
So they'll get through today Harry and Joe
                      F   G         C   G  C  G  C
They get through each day Harry and Joe
