C Bm Am G
I woke up this morning
G Am Bm C
With a smile on my face
C Bm Am G
I threw out those stones
G Am Bm C
That stood in my way
C Bm Am G
And I put on a new pair
G Am Bm C
Of hard walking shoes
C Bm Am G
I woke up this morning
G Am Bm F
Laughing the blues
F Em Dm C
I woke up laughing the blues
A -3-2-0---
G
And when the talking on the TV
F Em Dm C
Tells me I should be scared
G
I don?t let it overwhelm me
F Em Dm C
I know that joy will be there
G
Behind every tear
F
It might take a while
F Em Dm C
Might as well smile
C Bm Am G
I go to the corner
G Am Bm C
And buy me a drink
C Bm Am G
I say to the man
G Am Bm C
?This shit helps me think?
C Bm Am G
He says ?who ya fooling?
G Am Bm C

C Bm Am G
A dead woman walking?
G Am Bm F

F Em Dm C
I sure hope he ain?t right
G
And when the preacher on the TV
F Em Dm C
Tells me I should be scared
G
I don?t let it overtake me
F Em Dm C
I know that faith will be there
G
Behind every fear
F
It might take a while
F Em Dm C
Might as well smile
