[G] I got the rice cooking in the microwave.
Got a three-day bid, I don't plan to shave.
It's a goofy thing, but I just gotta say, hey,
I'm doing all right.
Think I'll meet me some homies who are feeling pretty good,
and that's the truth, yeah.
It's neither drink or drug abuse, no, I'm just doing all right.
And [D] it's a great day [Em] to be alive.
I know the sun's still shining [C] when I close my [D] eyes.
It's hard times [Em] in the neighborhood,
but [C] why [G] can't every day [C] be just as [D] good?
[G]
[D] [G]
It's been 15 years since I left home.
They said good luck to every seed I sown.
Gave it my best, and then I left it alone.
Oh, I hope they're doing all right.
I look in the mirror, and what do I see?
A lone wolf there staring back at me, yeah.
Long in the tooth, but harmless as can [Bm] be.
Lord, [G] I hope he's doing all right.
And [D] it's a great day [Em] to be alive.
I know the sun's still [C] shining when I close [D] my eyes.
It's hard [Em] times in the neighborhood,
but [Am] why can't [G] every day [C] be just [D] as [Em] good?
Sometimes it's [G] lonely.
Sometimes it's [C] only [G] me and the [Am] shadows that fill [Em] this room.
Sometimes [G] I'm falling, desperately
[C] calling, [G]
howling at the [Am] [A] moon.
[G] Ah-hoo.
[D] [Em]
[G] [Em]
[C] [D] [G]
Might go get me a new taxi, take my old Jeep
for a three-day cruise.
Might even grow me a full [C] man's shoe.
[D] And it's a great day [Em] to be alive.
I know the sun's still shining [C] when I close [D] my eyes.
It's hard [Em] times in the neighborhood.
[Am] Why can't [G] every day [C] be just [D] as good?
It's a great day [Em] to be alive.
I know [Am] the sun's [Bm] still shining when [C] I close [D] my eyes.
It's hard times in [Em] the neighborhood.
[Am] Why can't [G] every day [C] be just [D] as [G] good?
[D] [Em]
