his song keeps the same chord pattern as the intro throughout, apart 
from the end of the verse as shown.  There is also an increased tempo 
through the chorus. 
 
 
Intro A A D E 
 

Now Josey said she seen you in this downtown cafe 

where you and me used to go 

and she told me that your old boyfriend johnny and some kid 

got a gig down there doing one of them acoustic duos 

and she told me you sat by the stage and ordered a margarita 

and when it came you smiled at Johnny and said "ole" 
D                        A       D 
well I know that you can do what you want 
D      A             E           D  C# 
but it still hurts I hate to say 
 
Chorus 
Hey that's all right, I believe I'll be okay 
Hey that's all right, I believe I'll be okay 
 
Now me, I been hangin' out down at the harbour 
with them old hard boys from the double a 
yeah I like old stories they tell 
and how they ain't gonna be drinking just for today 
and then I take the guitar you gave me, the one I didn't pawn 
and then I go over to this little folk club and wait around to play 
'Cause now I can do what I want but I gotta ask a favour everyday 
 
Hey that's all right, I believe I'll be okay 
Hey that's all right, I believe I'll be okay 
 
Solo 
 
And then Josey told me you had a few more margaritas 
and you got up on stage and started playin' the tambourine 
and you started singin' oh la la la 
loud real loud off key in the microphone 
and shaking it like they never seen and then the cops came 
and your old boyfriend and the kid had to convicne them not to haul you 
away 
I don't know why Josey told me this 
perhaps it was just to brighten up my day 
 
Hey that's all right, I'm gonna be okay 
I say hey that's all right, I am gonna be okay 
I say hey that's all right, I'm gonna be okay 
Woh hey, that's alright, I'm gonna be okay 
Ole
