Verse 1:
        Gadd9
        I was born my Papa's son

        C                     F
        A wandering eye and a smokin' gun

        Gadd9
        Now some of you who've lived through me

        C                  F
        lock me up and throw away the key

        Gadd9
        Or just find a place to hide away

        C                       F        Gadd9
        And hope that I'll just go away, huh


Chorus:
               Em     D
        I feel alright

          C              Gadd9
        I feel alright tonight

               Em
        I feel alright

          C              Gadd9
        I feel alright tonight


Verse 2:
        Gadd9
        Now I bring you precious contraband

            C                  F
        And ancient tales from distant lands

        Gadd9
        Conquerors and concubines

            C              F
        And conjurers from darker times

        Gadd9
        Of betrayal and conspiracy

        C             F     Gadd9
        Sacrilage and heresy


Chorus:
               Em     D
        I feel alright

          C              Gadd9
        I feel alright tonight

               Em
        I feel alright

          C              Gadd9
        I feel alright tonight

Verse 3:
        Gadd9
        I've got everything you want and need

             C                 F
        Your darkest fear your fondest dreams

        Gadd9
        Ask you questions tell you lies

        C             F
        Criticize and sympathize

        Gadd9
        Yeah but, be careful what you wish for friend

                    C                F             Gadd9     
        'Cause I've been to Hell and now I'm back again
