It's A Great Day To Be Alive 
 Darrell Scott

 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
 And its a goofy thing but I just gotta say hey 
 D C G
 I'm doing alright
 G C G
 Yeah I think I'll make me some homemade soup 
 D Em C
 Feelin pretty good and thats the truth 
 G D Em C
 It's neither drink nor drug induced, no 
 D C G
 I'm just doin' alright


 Chorus:
 D Em
 And it's a great day to be alive 
 Am Em C D
 I know the suns still shinin when I close my eyes 
 D Em
 There's some hard times in the neigborhood 
 Am Em C D
 But why can't every day be just this good 

 G C G D C G

 Verse 2:
 Its been 15 years since I left home 
 Said good luck to every seed I'd sown 
 Gave it my best and then I left it alone, oh 
 I hope they're doin' alright 
 Now I look in the mirror and what do I see 
 A lone wolf there starin' back at me 
 Head in the Clouds but harmless as can be, Lord 
 I guess he's doin alright

 CHORUS

 Em G C G 
 Sometimes its lonely, sometimes its only me 
 Am Em C D Em
 And the shadows that fill this room
 G C G A A7
 Sometimes Im falling desperately calling howling at the mo--on
 G (to instrumental)
 Ahhhwwooooo 


 Instrumental: G G C G D C G (x4) 


 G C G
 It's a colorful life that we go through
 D Em C 
 It's neither black not white nor just shades of blue 
 G D Em C
 Maybe I'll grow me a fu man chu, ohh 


 CHORUS (twice)

 Outro: G G C G D C G (repeat to fade)
