[Verse 1]
      G                   C      G
I got rice cooking in the microwave

       D                      Em      C
Got a three day beard I don't plan to shave

          G      D           Em         C    D       C       G
And it's a goofy thing but I just gotta say hey, I'm doing alright

        G                        C        G
Yeah, I think I'll make me some homemade soup

 D                      Em         C
Feeling pretty good and that's the truth

G            D         Em     C       D           C       G
It's neither drink nor drug induced, no, I'm just doin' alright
[Chorus]
           D            Em
And it's a great day to be alive

           Am          G/B            C        D
I know the sun's still shining when I close my eyes

             D    D            Em
There's some hard times in the neighborhood

    Am              G/B    C         D  G
but why can't every day be just this good?
[Instrumental] (G) G/B C G D C [Verse 2]
          G              C        G
It's been 15 years since I left home

D                       Em       C
Said good luck to every seed I'd sown

G           D              Em         C
Give it my best and then I left it alone, ohh

D              C       G
I hope they're doin' alright

      G                      C         G
Now I look in the mirror and what do I see?

  D                       Em      C
A lone wolf there starin' back at me

G           D           Em            C
Long in the tooth but harmless as can be

D                  C       G
Lord, I guess he's doin' alright
[Chorus]
           D            Em
And it's a great day to be alive

           Am          G/B            C        D
I know the sun's still shining when I close my eyes

There's some hard times in the neighborhood

    Am              G/B    C         D  Em
but why can't every day be just this good?
[Bridge]
(Em)            D                      C    G
Sometimes it's lonely, sometimes it's only me

         Em           C   D
And the shadows that fill this room

Em                D                    C
   Sometimes I'm fallin', desperately callin'

 G             Asus4 A
Howlin' at the moon
[Interlude]
    G   C G D   Em C
Ahhhwooooooo!

    G D Em C D C G
Ahhhwooooooo!
G C G D Em C G D Em C D C G [Verse 3]
        G                  C     G
Well, I might go get me a new tattoo

   D                        Em        C
Or take my old Harley for a three day cruise

G           D         Em    C
Might even grow me a fu man chu, ohh aww!
[Chorus]
                D       Em
And it's a great day to be alive

           Am          G/B            C        D
I know the sun's still shining when I close my eyes
