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 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. 

 
                  C         F 
I think I'm am alright guy 
                  C         F
I think I'm am alright guy 
G
I just want to live until I've gotta die 
F
I know I ain't perfect, 
F
But God knows I try 
    C                   F 
I think I'm an alright guy 
               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
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   
Well, 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)
 

            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
Man, I was only kidding 
          F
When I called them 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)
