[Bbm] [F] I got rice [Bb] cooking in the [F] microwave, I [C] got a three day [Bb] beard, I don't plan to shave,
and [F] it's a goofy thing, [Dm] but I just [Bb] gotta say, [C] hey man, [Bb] I'm doing [Fm] alright.
Yeah, I think
I'll [C] make [Bb] me some homemade [F] soup, I'm feeling pretty good, [Gm] and [Bb] that's a gospel truth.
[F] It's
neither [C] drink nor [Dm] drug [Bb] induced, no I'm just doing [F] alright, and [C] it's a great day [Dm] to be
alive, I [G] know the sun's [A] still shining when [Bb] I close [C] my eyes, [Gm] it's some hard times [Dm] in the
neighborhood, [Gm] but why [F] can't every [Bb] day be just this [C] good?

[Cm]
[Dm] [Bb] [F] It's been fifteen [Bb] years since I
left [F] home, [C] I said good luck to [D] every seed [Eb] I'd sown, [F] I gave it my [C] best [Dm] and I left it
[Bb] alone, [C]
[Bb] I hope you're doing [F] alright.
Now Redbird, [Bb] Redbird, what do you [Fm] see?
He [C] says I see a
lone wolf and he's [Dm] looking [Gm] straight at me, [F] heading to clouds, [Dm] but harmless [Bb] as a tree,
[C] good God I [Bb] guess he's doing [F] alright.
[C] It's a great day [Dm] to be [Gm] alive, I know the [Dm] sun's still
shining [Bb] when I close [C] my eyes, it's some hard times [Dm] in the neighborhood, [Gm] but why can't [F] every
day [Bb] be just [C] this [Dm] good?
[Gm] Sometimes [Dm] it's [C] lonely, sometimes [Bb] it's only [F] me, and the shadows are
[Gm] [F]
[Bb] filling [C] this [Dm] room.
Sometimes I'm [F] falling, [Am] desperately [Bb] calling, and [F] howling at [G] the moon.
