VERSE

C
Well I took a little something

           F          C
to make my Worries go away


I laid down with a movie

      G               F*
And I started to feel okay

      Am
But I heard the doorbell ringin’

      C            F
And I opened up to see

   C                 G                 C   Am
My worries they were waiting there for me


     C
Now death as you’d expect


     F                 C
was all dressed up in black


misfortune in her stocking

      G              F
and a curve upon her back

      Am
and a chorus of the lonely

           C               F
In their gospel robes of course

          C                G        C
they were singing 'bout my imminent divorce


CHORUS


       C         G
It’s a beautiful day

          F        C
No it’s a horrible day

                              G
Maybe I will grin but I won’t bear

       C         G
It’s a beautiful day

          Am   G   F
No it’s a horrible day

            C                G                 C    Am
And for the first time in my life I just don’t care

INTRO

VERSE CHORDS OVER SOLO

CHORUS

VERSE

So let me get my coat
And let me get my stash
I’ll trade my VCR for a pocket full of cash
I’ll take off with my worries
And I’ll even let Death drive
We’re sure to get there dead or alive

CHORUS

OUTRO

            C                G                     C
And for the first time in my life I don’t need the luck

repeat twice more with intro between each line
