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)
