yeah I think I'll make me some [C] homemade [G] soup, [D] feeling pretty good [Em] and that's [C] the
[G] truth it's [D] neither drink [Em] nor drug [C] induced [D] no I'm [C] just doing [G] alright and
[D] it's a great [Em] day to be alive I [A] know the sun [G] still shining [C] when I close [D] my eyes

now I look in the mirror [C] and what do [G] I see?
[D] A long wolf there [Em] staring back [C] at me
[G] long [D] in the tooth [Em] but harmless as can be [D] Lord I [C] guess he's doing [G] alright and [D] it's a
great day [Em] to be alive I [A] know the sun [Bm] still shining [C] when I [G] close [D] my eyes
there's some hard [Em] times in the neighborhood [A] but why [G] can't every day [C] be
just [D] as [G] good?
Sometimes it's lonely, sometimes it's only me and the [Am] [G] shadows
