[Dm] [C]
[F] [D]
[Ab] [D] [F]
I got her eyes cooking [Bb] in the [C] microwave.
Got a three day beard I [Dm] don't plan [Bb] to shave.
And [C] it's a goofy thing [Dm] but I just gotta [Bb] say,
Hey [C] man, I'm doing [F] alright.
You think I'll make me some [C] homemade [F] soup?
I'm [C] feeling pretty good and [Dm] that's a gospel [Bb] truth.
[F] It's [C] neither drink [Dm] nor drug [Bb] and juice.
[C] No, I'm [Bb] just doing [F] alright.
And [C] it's a great [Dm] day to be alive,
Even [Gm] though the sun is [F] still shining.
[Bb] When I close [C] my eyes,
It's some hard [Dm] times in the neighborhood.
[Gm] But why [F] can't every [Bb] day be just as [F] good?
[Bb]
[F] [C] [Dm]
[F] It's been fifteen years [Bb] since I [F] left home.
[C] And said good luck to [D] every seed I sown.
[F] I gave it [E] my best, [Dm] then I left it [Bb] [G] alone.
I [Bb] hope they're doing [F] alright.
Now Redbird, [F] Redbird, [Bb] what do [F] you see?
[C] Says I see a lone [Dm] wolf looking at [Bb] me.
[C] Head in the clouds, but [Dm] harmless [Bb] as a tree.
Good [C] God, I guess he's doing [F] alright.
[C] It's a great day [Dm] to be alive,
Even though [Gm] the sun is [F] still shining.
When I close [C] my eyes,
It's some hard times [Dm] in the neighborhood.
[Gm] But why [E] can't every day [Bb] be just [Gb] as [Dm] good?
Sometimes it's [C] lonely,
Sometimes [Dm] it's [Bb] only [F] me.
And the shadows that [Bb] fill [Db] this [Dm] room.
Sometimes I'm [C] falling,
[C]
[G] Desperately [Bb] calling,
[F] And howling at [G] the moon.
[C] Howl.
[Am] [Bb] [F]
[C] [D]
[F] [Dm]
[Bb] [F] Yeah, it's a colorful life [Dm] that we [F] go through.
It's [C] neither black or white,
Nor [Dm] just shades [Bb] of blue.
[F] Now maybe [C] I'll grow me [D] a full [Bb] man's shoe.
[Bb] Yeah, yeah, it's a [C] great day [Bb] to be [G] alive.
I know the sun's [F] still shining.
[C] When I close my eyes,
It's some hard [D] times in the neighborhood.
[Gm] But why can't [F] every day be [C] just as good?
It's a great [Dm] day to be alive.
I [Gm] know the [F] sun's still shining.
[Bb] When I [C] close my eyes,
It's some hard [Dm] times in the neighborhood.
[Gm] But why [Am] can't every day [Bb] be just [C] as [F] good?
[A] [Dm] [Am] [C]
[Dm] [Bb] [F]
[G] Howl.
[Dm] [Bb] [C]
[Bb] [F] Yeah!
[Dm] [Dm] [G]
[Bb] [F]
[Am] [Gm] [G]
Howl.
