Intro: Riff

E5                           Asus2
Al, he sells records down on old st. charley?s street
C#m               C#madd9             G#5              Asus2 
He?s cleaning up fat tuesday?s mess he keeps the sidewalks neat
E5                              D5 
And he just lost his father and he just lost his wife
   C#m                                     G#5          Asus2
And if it wasn?t for the music he couldn?t get on with his life

    B      Asus2    G#5  Asus2 
And he knows what I know
         B        Asus2        G#5  Asus2
It?s not all that hard to survive
             B            Asus2       G#5       Asus2 
You take the good and the bad and the time in between
    C#m        G#5 Asus2                                    
It lets us know          we?re alive

         E5                           
Well now be be?s singing gospel
            Asus2
And down on bourbon she sings the blues
     C#m             C#madd9               G#5        Asus2
She plays on all my heart strings curls my toes up in my shoes
    E5
And she knows what I?m after
         D5
Chase my dreams with all my might
             C#m                              G#5         Asus2
She says you shouldn?t be so anxious and deep down I know she?s right


    B      Asus2    G#5  Asus2 
And he knows what I know
         B        Asus2        G#5  Asus2
It?s not all that hard to survive
             B            Asus2       G#5       Asus2 
You take the good and the bad and the time in between
    C#m        G#5 Asus2 
It lets us know          we?re alive

      G5       Asus2
Step right into the front car
    B
You know life?s a roller coaster
   G5          Asus2
It ain?t got no safety bar
      B
Raise your voices up with laughter
      G5          Asus2
Bring it in with one big sigh
      C#m                G5 - Asus2
Consecrated in the wonder  ....    we?re alive

Play Riff

E5                        Asus2
Norman he plays music but only in my dreams
C#m              C#madd9      G#5       Asus2 
Shows me all the beauty that soulful music brings
E5                                 D5 
But sometimes he?s a spectre and I wake up clenched with fear
    C#m                   G#5         Asus2
But lesson good or bad he always keeps me clear

    B      Asus2    G#5  Asus2 
And you know what I know
         B        Asus2        G#5  Asus2
It?s not all that hard to survive
             B            Asus2       G#5       Asus2 
You take the good and the bad and the time in between
    C#m        G#5 Asus2 
It lets us know          we?re alive
