         C
You know just the other morning

      F                    C        F C
I was hanging around in my house

           C                           F
I had that new book with pictures of Madonna naked

      C                  F C
I was checkin' it out

G                          F
Just then a friend of mine came through the door

G                                F
Said she'd never pegged me for a scumbag before

G                                F
She said she didn't ever want to see me any more

      C                G
And I still don't know why
(CHORUS)
               C          F
I think I'm an alright guy

               C          F
I think I'm an alright guy

  G                   G
I just want to live until I've got to die

  F                        F
I know I ain't perfect but God knows I try

  C                    F
I think I'm an alright guy

              C         F C
I think I'm alright

              C
Now maybe I'm dirty

    F                      C   F C
And maybe I smoke a little dope

       C                       F
Hey it ain't like I'm going on TV

                    C              F C
And tearing up pictures of the pope

  G                     F
I know I get wild and I know I get drunk

       G                           F
But it ain't like I got a bunch of bodies in my trunk

   G                         F
My old man used to call me a no-good punk

      C                G
And I still don't know why
(Chorus) SOLO (over verse; skip final G)
         C
You know just the other night

          F                         C  F C
These cops pulled me over outside a bar

     C
They turned on their lights

         F                    C  F C
And they ordered me out of my car

          G                                F
Man I was only kidding when I called 'em a couple of dicks

    G                                F
But still they made me do the stupid human tricks

        G                         F
Now I'm stuck in this jail with a bunch of dumb hicks

      C                G
And I still don't know why
(Chorus) (Outro)
