(intro riff)

(C   Gm-sus4   Fadd9 )  x 6

VERSE 1:
C
I was born my papa's son 
  Fadd9               Gm-sus4     (C   Gm-sus4   Fadd9)x2
A wanderin' eye and a smokin' gun 
    C
Now some of you would live through me
Fadd9          Gm-sus4            (C   Gm-sus4   Fadd9)x2 
Lock me up and throw away the key 
       C
Or just find a place to hide away 
Fadd9              Gm-sus4       (C   Gm-sus4   Fadd9)x2
Hope that I'll just go away

CHORUS:
        Am     Gsus4   Fadd9      (C   Gm-sus4   Fadd9)x2
I feel alright,      I feel alright tonight  
        Am     Gsus4   Fadd9      (C   Gm-sus4   Fadd9)x2
I feel alright,      I feel alright tonight 
         
(same chord pattern throughout the song)
                                     
VERSE 2:
I'll bring you precious contraband 
And ancient tales from distant lands 
Of conquerors and concubines and 
Conjurers from darker times 
Betrayal and conspiracy 
Sacrilege and heresy

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL
( C     Fadd9     Dm-sus4     Fadd9 )    x 2      (listen to get the timing right)
( C    Dm-sus4    Fadd9 )                x 4
                                             
VERSE 3:
I got every thing you wont or need 
Your darkest fear, your fondest dream 
I ask you questions, tell you lies 
Criticize and sympathize 
Be careful what you wish for friend 
Because I've been to hell and now I'm back again

CHORUS

OUTRO:
                (C   Gm-sus4   Fadd9) x2
I feel alright    
                 C   Gm-sus4   Fadd9   (C) 
I feel alright
