  			Intro 

D 

verse 1 
                          A 
 I got worries by the ton, gettin' cancer's only one 
D                       G 
 Overtaxed and alimonied, tired of eatin' fried baloney 
D                              A 
 I got burdens on my shoulders, dying young or growin' older, 
D 
 There's some brain cells that I'm missin' 
G                               A 
 But despite it all, I'd like to say 

Chorus 
                 D 
 I'm gonna have a good day today 
             A 
 Gonna have a good time anyway 
             G                    A 
 Put it all behind me, lay it all away 
           D 
 Gonna be a good day today 

verse 2 
D                                 A 
 Bills and pills and former wives, past mistakes and former lives 
D                          G 
 Bank account is overdrawn, out of Prozac, hairline's gone 
D                          A 
 Hearing voices in my head, say I should've stayed in bed 
D                                 G                           A 
 Dog just died, but what the heck, nothing worse can happen anyway 

Chorus 
                      D 
 So,, I'm gonna have a good day today 
                     A 
 Me, I'm gonna have a good time anyway 
             G                    A 
 Put it all behind me, lay it all away 
           D 
 Gonna be a good day today 

Break 
 D A G A D 

verse 3 
D                                  A 
 Pulled my back and wrecked my car, girlfriend stole my VCR 
D                               G 
 Letter came from Sixty Minutes, say they wanna put me in it 
D                            A 
 Tell me my career just died, years ago I might've cried 
D                             G                             A 
 Now I'm just too old to do it, may be true, but screw it anyway 

Chorus 
                     D 
 Me, I'm gonna have a good day today 
                     A 
 And I'm gonna have a good time anyway 
             G                    A 
 Put it all behind me, lay it all away 
           D 
 Gonna be a good day today 

Outro 
                      D 
 Hey, I'm gonna have a good day today 
                     A 
 Me, I'm gonna have a good time anyway 
             G                    A 
 Put it all behind me, lay it all away 
           D 
 Gonna be a good day today
