F Bb
goofy thing but i just gotta say
C Bb F
i’m doing all right
F Bb F
I think i’ll make me some homemade soup
C
I’m feeling pretty good
Bb
A n d that’s the truth
F Bb
it’s neither drink nor drug induced
C Bb F
No i’m just doing all right
[chorus]
C F Dm
And it’s a great day to be alive
Gm
I know the sun’s still shining
F C
When i close my eyes
F Dm
It’s hard times in the neighborhood
Gm Am
But why can’t everyday
Bb C F Bb F C Bb

[verse (2)]
F Bb F
It’s been fifteen years since i left home

F Bb F
Redbird, redbird what do you see?

He says i
Dm Bb
See a lone wolf looking at me
F C
Head in the clouds
Dm Bb
But harmless as a tree
C Gm F
I guess he’s doing all right”

Sometimes it’s lonely
Am Bb
Sometimes it’s only me
Gm F Bb Dm
And the shadows that fill this room

Sometimes i’m falling
Am Bb
Desperately calling
Gm
Howling at the moon
F Am Bb F C Gm
Awooo
F Am Bb F C Gm

Nor just shades of blue
F C Dm Bb
Maybe i’ll grow me a fu man chu
