Ain't It Great To Be Alive
(written by: Wayne Mills)
G G/F# Em C D
I sat down to think about my life and started seeing thing so clear G G/F# Em
I’ve done some things that made my dear ole’ momma cry C D
Then again, I’ve done a lot that made her smile
G G/F# Em C D
You dad told me, when I was young, I could do just about anything G G/F# Em
From this day on I’m gonna keep both hands on the wheel C D GCG
I’m gonna put that hammer down, stay the course, and let it fly
(Chorus)
C D G G/F# Em
Well nothing’s gonna slow me down, lord I’m on my way C D
And the futures gonna hand me brighter days C D G G/F# Em
Aint life great, don’t it beat all, I’m gonna have myself a ball
C D GCG (2x)
Aint it great to be alive
G G/F# Em C
Lookin’ back on my youth I can’t help but smile when I think about
D
the times with my best friend
G G/F# Em
Racin’ sticks down Thompson falls, the loser never lost at all C D
We’d go back to top and we’d start again
C D G/F# Em
Buildin’ forts in Rollin’ Hills, reckin’ bikes, we had some spills
C D
spin the bottle with the girl next door C C D G G/F# Em
Yea we’d fight and fuss, spit and cuss, we we’re team it was them or us
C D G
And it was great to be alive
(Solo) (Chorus)
G G/F# Em C D
Well if your ever feelin’ kinda low, circumstances bring you down G G/F# Em C
Raise the blinds and let the sun shine through and just take a look
D
around
G G/F# Em C
Think of something that makes you smile, things aren’t near as
D
bad as they seem
G G/F# Em
Step outside and get some fresh air, dance around like you don’t
care
C D GCG
And watch your worries drift away
(Chorus)
Repeat last line 4 times
