A E
'You bastard, you son of a bitch, I wish you were dead.*
D A E
Were the words that my dear mother called as I crawled out of bed
A D
I don't know what happened last night, but there's puke on the floor and a gash in my head
A E A
But today is gonna be a good day
[Verse]
A E
I went into work, but they said I don't work there no more
D A E
Had my desk in a box, guards escorted me to the door
A D
And as I walked away, I lit my last cigarette, it's off to the old liquor store
A E A
Today is gonna be a good day
(Up tempo intro, increased tempo)
A E
(Rockin) I loved my Marie, I gave her my heart and my soul
D A E
And the house and the cars, in divorce the bitch took it all
A D
Her new boyfriend Terry, he sleeps in my bed, he's got a full head of hair and he's tall
A E A
But today is gonna be a good day
[Verse]
D
Alone! I'm alone in this world!
E A
Like a traveler lost on the seas, my flag is unfurled
D A
We could fight, fight, fight but whatâs it all for?
E A
In the end we all wind up again at the old liquor store
[Verse]
A
That guy with the cross on the corner of 12th street and Q
D A E
Told me I'm going to Hell, I said, 'Buddy, I'm no worse than you
A D
I'd love to chat more but I'm late for my movie, don't you have better things to do?
A E A
Today, is gonna be a good day
[Outro]
D A
Alone! I'm alone in this world!
E A
Like a traveler lost on the seas, my flag is unfurled
D A
We could fight,fight,fight but what's it all for?
E A
In the end we all wind up again at the old liquor store
