VERSE:
            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

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 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
Maybe he’s right

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

Behind every fear

It might take a while

Might as well smile

VERSE:
        C Bm Am G
I woke up this morning
     G  Am Bm C
With a smile on my face
 C Bm Am G
Without a warning
  G  Am Bm C
My fear was e-rased
   C Bm Am G
So I put on a new pair
   G  Am Bm  C
Of good walking shoes
  C  Bm Am  G
I woke up this morning
 G Am Bm  F
Laughing the blues
       F Em Dm C
'Cause I got nothing to lose


BREAK:
      G
And if the darkness brings the thunder
       F  Em Dm C
My brother turns me a-way
    G
I will turn and love another
        F  Em Dm  C
There will be light in the shade
            G
And that’s where I’ll lay
     F
It might take a while
        C  C Bm Am G
Might as well smile
