Shes Alright

           D
Well, the moon in New York tonight 
was beautiful
   G                              D
I wish you were around to see it too
Bm                         A 
I'm so happy I could cry, why'd 
                                   G
you'd have to go and die like that?
        D
It's a shame when people ain't 
around to see
      G                          
The smiles that they nurture, the 
     D
laughter they breed
       Bm                         
These people don't know me, and I 
A                           G
don't plan on showing what I've seen
       D
And I threw up on a corner in 
Philadelphia
           G                       
She said, "Boy, there ain't no real
            D
 point in helping ya"
     Bm                         
The only thing you've ever owned 
       A                           
were high hopes and a pocket comb, 
      G
you fool
          D
So don't act like you know who I am
            G
'Cause the more I'll explain, the 
less you'll understand
      Bm                           
Them assholes downtown are the only
  A                     G
 ones around that even try


[Chorus]
            Bm     A
So look up tonight
                 G   D  D/C#
The moon, she's shining
                 Bm   A
And we'll be alright
                    G   D
'Cause she's still smiling
     Bm                         A
The city lights'll blow mama's mind
             G                  D
The more I search, the less I find
           Bm   A
But I'm alright
              G        D
'Cause she's here tonight
              Bm   A  G D
Oh, she's alright


[Verse 2]
    D
And I still recall the night you're 
heading home
            G                      
You were fighting so hard I knew 
    D
you couldn't be alone
     Bm                         A 
Your hand in my hand, I knew I had
                             G
 to be a man from that night on
          D
And I'll tell you all these stories 
one day
            G                      
And we'll laugh like we used to and
  D
 waste the night away
       Bm                        
You'll say, "Boy, how I've missed 
           A                     
ya," but son, I was with you this 
          G
whole time


[Chorus]
            Bm     A
So look up tonight
                 G   D  D/C#
The moon, she's shining
                 Bm   A
And we'll be alright
                    G   D
'Cause she's still smiling
     Bm                         A
The city lights'll blow mama's mind
             G                  D
The more I search, the less I find
           Bm   A
But I'm alright
              G        D
'Cause she's here tonight
              Bm   A
Oh, she's alright
         G    D
She's alright
                 Bm A G D
Oh, she's alright


[Outro]
    D
Well, the moon in New York tonight 
was beautiful
   G                              D
I wish you were around to see it too
Bm                         A     
I'm so down that I could cry, 
                               G
why'd my best friend up and die like
 that?
