Verse: 
                       C Bm Am G 
I woke up this morning 
         G   Am Bm  C 
With a smile on my face 
    C   Bm   Am     G 
I threw out those stones 
       G   Am Bm  C 
That stood in my way 
       C  Bm Am G 
And I put on a new pair 
    G    Am Bm    C 
Of hard walking shoes 
   C   Bm  Am   G 
I woke up this morning 
 G   Am   Bm   F 
Laughing the blues 
           F   Em  Dm    C 
I woke up laughing the blues

And when the talking on the TV 
         F   Em   Dm   C 
Tells me I should be scared 
         G 
I don’t let it overwhelm me 
             F   Em  Dm   C 
I know that joy will be there 
              G 
Behind every tear

It might take a while 
  F   Em  Dm    C 
Might as well smile

    C  Bm Am  G 
A dead woman walking”

With a smile on my face

Without a warning

My brother turns me a-way

There will be light in the shade 
                       G 
And that’s where I’ll lay 
          F 
It might take a while
