It's A Great Day To Be Alive - Travis Tritt
Album: Down The Road I Go
Written by: Darrell Scott

       G                  C     G           
I got rice cooking in the microwave 
       D                      Em       C
Got a three day beard I don't plan to shave 
          G       D          Em         C
And its a goofy thing but I just gotta say hey 
D    C       G
I'm doing alright
        G                       C        G
Yeah I think I'll make me some homemade soup 
D                      Em         C
Feelin pretty good and thats the truth 
G              D       Em      C
It's neither drink nor drug induced, no 
D         C       G
I'm just doin' alright


Chorus:
            D           Em
And it's a great day to be alive 
           Am         Bm             C        D
I know the suns still shinin when I close my eyes 
              D                 Em
There's some hard times in the neigborhood 
    Am              Bm      C         D
But why can't every day be just this good  

G  C  G  D  C  G

Verse 2:
Its been 15 years since I left home 
Said good luck to every seed I'd sown 
Gave it my best and then I left it alone, oh 
I hope they're doin' alright 
Now I look in the mirror and what do I see  
A lone wolf there starin' back at me 
Long in the tooth but harmless as can be, Lord 
I guess he's doin alright

CHORUS

Em             G                     C    G     
Sometimes its lonely, sometimes its only me 
          Am     Bm   C    D    Em
And the shadows that fill this room
              G                   C       G             A  A7
Sometimes Im falling desperately calling howling at the mo--on
       G (to instrumental)
Ahhhwwooooo  


Instrumental: G  G  C  G  D  C  G (x4)  

 
        G                C     G
Well I might go get me a new tattoo 
    D                        Em         C        
Or take my old Harley for a three day cruise 
G          D         Em      C
Might even grow me a fu man chu, ohh 


CHORUS (twice)

Outro: G  G  C  G  D  C  G (repeat to fade)

-bertuzzi | 10/10/2003
Good Job ! Take a look at the Pat Green's version !
-Cowboy Juju | 10/16/2003
Cory Morrow does a really good version of this song, better then Travis Tritt for sure.
-Hamie21 | 12/18/2004
I'M assuming that the second verse has the same chord transition as the 1st verse. I'm a beginner so I'm not sure. Would prefer a full chorded version of this to avoid playing it wrong.
