IT’S A [G]REAT [D]AY TO BE ALIVE
Recording is in [G]

I got rice cooking in the microwave 
Got a three day beard, I don't plan to shave 
| [G] . /[F#] . | [Em] . [C] . | [D] . [C] . | [G] . . . |
And it’s a goofy thing but I just gotta say 
Hey I'm'a doin' alright  
| [G] . /[B] . | [C] . [G] . | [D] . . . | [Em] . [C] . |
Yeah I think I'll make me some homemade soup 
Feelin' pretty good an' that's the truth 
| [G] . /[F#] . | [Em] . [C] . | [D] . [C] . | [G] . . . |
It's neither drink nor drug induced, no 
I'm just doin' alright

| [D] . . . | [Em] . . . | [Am] . /[B] . | [C] . [D] . |
And it's a great day to be alive 
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes 
| [D] . . . | [Em] . . . | [Am] . /[B] . | [C] . [D] . |
There's some hard times in the neighborhood 
But why can't every day be just this good

It's been 15 years since I left home 
Said good luck to every seed I'd sown 
| [G] . /[F#] . | [Em] . [C] . | [D] . [C] . | [G] . . . |
Gave it my best and then I left it alone, oh 
I hope they're doin' alright 
| [G] . /[B] . | [C] . [G] . | [D] . . . | [Em] . [C] . |
Now I look in the mirror and what do I see  
A lone wolf there starin' back at me 
| [G] . /[F#] . | [Em] . [C] . | [D] . [C] . | [G] . . . |
Long in the tooth but harmless as can be
Lord I guess he's doin' alright

| [D] . . . | [Em] . . . | [Am] . /[B] . | [C] . [D] . |
And it's a great day to be alive 
I know the sun's still shinin' when I close my eyes

Sometimes it's lonely,  sometimes it's only  me 
| [C] . . . | /[B] . . . | [Am] . /[B] . | [C] . [D] . |
And the shadows that fill this room
| [Em] . . . | . . . . | [D] . . . | . . . . |
Sometimes  I'm  fallin', desp'-rately  callin', 
| [C] . . . | /[B] . . . | [Am] . /[B] . | [A7] . . . |
howlin' at the mooooooooooon

Well I might go get me a new tattoo 
Or take my old Harley for a three day cruise 
| [G] . /[F#] . | [Em] . | [C] . . . | . . . . |
Might even grow me a fu man-chu, ohh, yah!
