Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:


G+G
Woke up this mornin'

  C majorC       G+G
And thought I was fine

G+G
Walked in the kitchen

 D MajorD
A augmentedA quarter to nine

G+G
Poured me some coffee

C majorC      G+G
Read me some news

G+G
When I looked up

  D MajorD     G+G
All hell broke loose

G+G
There's a hole in the roof

G+G
It's coming right through

           C majorC
The water's all gone cold

        G+G
Heater's makin' noise again

    D MajorD          G+G
And the bread's all growin' mold

Chorus:


C majorC            G+G
Songbird singin' in that old oak tree

  D MajorD
I'm lookin' up at you

    G+G
You're lookin' down on me

C majorC                 G+G       C majorC
I promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem

  D MajorD     C majorC    G+G
I'm livin' the American Dream

I'm livin' the American Dream

Verse 2:


G+G        C majorC    G+G
I hate to let my old lady down

           D MajorD
This time I took her out on the town

G+G          C majorC      G+G
If I had my way, I'd give her the world

           D MajorD     G+G
Lord only knows how I love that girl

G+G
But the yard needs mowin'

G+G
Bills need payin'

            C majorC
Phone's ringing off the line

          G+G
I got me a list of "Honey do's"

 D MajorD          G+G
I just can't find the time

C majorC            G+G
Songbird singin' in that old oak tree

You're lookin' down on me

I promise you this really ain't as bad as it may seem
