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)
