Verse:
G+G
Let's go out on the town tonight
  C majorC           G+G
My pockets are heavy with loot
G+G
And get drunk and nasty
  A augmentedA           D MajorD
And loud and aggresive to boot
G+G
I've been living from hand to mouth
     C majorC           G+G
For what must be three or four weeks
G+G
And I can tell you one thing, Jack
  D MajorD            G+G
You listen when your stomach speaks

Chorus:
C majorC
I feel good
      G+G
Just like I knew that I would
  G+G
And all on account of that wine
        D MajorD
That I bought today
    G+G
And I'm smiling so sweet
  C majorC            G+G
For every little girl that I meet
     G+G
And some fools will try to tell you
    D MajorD        G+G
It's a sin to feel this way
     C majorC
Yeah, it feels so funny
            G+G
Having all this money today

Verse:
G+G
I got me this long-legged girl
  C majorC          G+G
To help me to spend my dough
G+G
A augmentedA heart as big as your mama's stove
   A augmentedA           D MajorD
And a body like Brigitte Bardot
G+G
I'm all ready for some rock n roll
     C majorC         G+G
With the guitars turned up loud
G+G
And some fancy footwork
   D MajorD          G+G
In a low-down, boozed-up crowd


Chorus:
C majorC
I feel good
      G+G
Just like I knew that I would
  G+G
And all on account of that wine
        D MajorD

And I'm smiling so sweet

It's a sin to feel this way
     C majorC
Yeah, it feels so funny
            G+G
