(x2)

         C
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'd 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

  (CHORUS:)
               C          F
I think I'm an alright guy
               C          F
I think I'm an alright guy
  G                   G
I just want to live until I've got to die
  F                        F
I know I ain't perfect but God knows I try
  C                    F
I think I'm an alright guy
              C         F 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
Hey 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
But 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)

SOLO (over verse; skip final G)

         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                                F
Man I was only kidding when I called 'em 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)

  (Outro)
