G                        C                    G      C  G
Just the other day I was hanging around in my house
         G                     C                                G    C G
Had that book with pictures of Madonna naked, I was checkin' it out
D                             C                        D                            C
Just then, an old friend, she walked through the door, said she never took me for a scumbag before
D                        C                G                D
Said she ever wanted see me anymore and I still don't know why


Chorus:
  G                    C                  G     C G
I think I'm an alright guy, I think I'm alright
       G                    C                  G     C G 
Yeah I think I'm an alright guy, I think I'm alright
       D                    C            D                          C 
Yeah I just gotta live till I gotta die, I know I ain't perfect but God knows I try
                G         C               G     C G
I think I'm an alright guy, I think I'm alright

Just the other night, these cops pulled me over outside of a bar
They turned on their lights and they ordered me, "Get out of the car"
Then they made me do these stupid human tricks, they got real mad when I called 'em a couple of dicks
Now I'm downtown in jail with a bunch of dumb hicks and I still don't why

Chorus

Now for medicinal purposes, sometimes I've had to smoke dope
I guess that ruins any chance to be President or the Pope
Yeah, sometimes I get wild and get a little drunk but it ain't like I got a bunch of bodies in my trunk
Everybody says that guys like me are dumb punks and I still don't why

Chorus
