(verse 1)
   C               G           D
My Ol' man's back hand use to land 

hard on the side of my head
   C               G              D
I just learned to stay out of his way,



(verse 2)
               C              G
There's been street fights, blue lights
           D
long nights with the world sittin on my chest,
    C                 G             D
It just showed me how much I could take,



(bridge)
Bb           C
Hard times, bad luck
Bb         C
sometimes life sucks




(chorus)
D                C
That's alright, I'm ok,
   G                  D
It ain't nothin but another day,
D                   C
But only God knows where I'll be,
G                  D      D - C - G - D
If you ever stop lovin me,




(verse 3)
    C              G          
The bank man, boss man, the law man,
D
all tryin to get their hands on me,
       C                 G           D
and I ain't even done a damn thing wrong,




(verse 4)
           C               G                    D
I've been way-laid, freight train, short changed,

     C            G              D
and all I got to say is bring it on,



(bridge)
Bb          C
hard rain, rough roads,
Bb      C
so my life goes,




(chorus)
D                C
That's alright, I'm ok,
   G                  D
It ain't nothin but another day,
D                   C
But only God knows where I'll be,
G                  D
If you ever stop lovin me,

***again some of you will question the names of the chords
   and like I preach over and over.....chords have many         
   names and I associate them by the structure of the 
   progressions.....
   Also in the bridge you can play your power / Rock chords
   the C5-B5-A5-D5 or you can walk down from the Cadd9
   structure Cadd9 - Bm/5+ - G6/A - D simple as pie...***
