Head On Straight chords by Graham Parker

Chords with lyrics

I picked this up by listening to the song on the radio, (I don't actually own the song
so there may be some differences in the lyrics and one or two chords. Please correct me
I'm wrong. It's a great song for a recovering alcoholic like me.

C majorC          C7C7
I had my day in the sun
     FF      Fm7Fm7
Then it rained every day
    D MajorD     D9D9
Every day was no fun
   C majorC         E MajorE   A augmentedA  A7A7
But things are looking up of late
FF         Fm7Fm7    C majorC   G+G
Now I’ve got my head on straight.

I had my week in the news
But I’m old news now
I’m not the new they choose
But things are looking up of late,
Now I’ve got my head on straight.

C majorC       Bb majorBb     C majorC
You put that sugar in my cup
A augmentedA          A7A7    FF
You came and stood my spirits up
        Bb majorBb      C majorC
You took that monkey off my back
        A augmentedA     A7A7  FF
And now I’m feeling back on track

Oh yeh.

I lost it all in the crash
I lost all I had
I lost all my cash
But things are looking up of late,
Now I’ve got my head on straight.

You put that sugar in my cup
You came and stood my spirits up
You took that monkey off my back
And now I’m feeling back on track
Oh yeh.

I spent my year on the roof
Gazing up at the stars
Thinking I was from Mars
But things are looking up of late,
