[Verse 1]

G               C
I was born on a Saturday,
Am                                 
My dad he held me screaming in his 
C
arms,
G                       C
He can talk like it was yesterday,
Am                               
When I got that holy water in my 
C
eye,
G                    Am
It’s alright, is it just alright.


[Pre-Chorus]

C
See all those faces coming down,
Trying not to let them down,
G                  Am
This time, babe is that alright,
C
Well I can still see the sun on the 
water,
I can still feel your sunlight.

G                 C
And I know that I come on strong,
Am                            
Forgive me I just couldn’t help 
  C
myself,
G                          C
And I have changed but I’m better 
now,
Am                          
And I see you in this new and 
          C
perfect light,
G                      Am
You’re so fine, you’re oh so fine.


[Pre-Chorus]

C
See all those faces coming down,
Trying not to let them down,

This time, babe is that alright,
C
Well I can still see the sun on the 
water,
I can still feel your sunlight.
