Aright/Ok
Park Avenue Sobriety Test
Standard tuning
Nice and simple song with just two chord progressions. Listen to the song for the strum pattern and timing
Joel adds some embellishments between chords to keep things interesting.
Verse:
GYou could cry wolf or Ccry me a Griver
CKnock on my door with a Gmessage to deliver
CJameson's whiskey iGs hard on mFy liver
EmTell me somethin' DI don't Gknow
I Gclose my eyes, aCsleep on a Gpillow
When Csomeone dies, I Gweep like a willow
CBlow 'em a kiss and Gsay bye-bye Ffriend
You'Emre never comiDng bacGk again
Chorus:
But Cthat's alright that's OK
If Gyou're still standing that's the price you pay
EmWhen you're gone you Bmdon't come back
So you Croll like a train on a Done way track
Verse:
I Glost my way when I Clost my Glove
CCouldn't make sense of the Gstars above
CShe's the little dipper that I've been Gthinkin' Fof
And she's Emnever comin' Dback Gagain
When Gshe said goodbye the Cwords they came Gquick
She Cspit 'em out fast and I Gfelt so sick
Now there Cain't nothin' magic in this Gmagic Ftrick
Cause she's Emnever comin' Dback Gagain
Chorus:
But Cthat's alright that's OK
She Gnever really knew me anyway
EmShe taped two regrets to my Bmmicrophone stand
Said you Ccant hold the hand of a Drock'n'roll man
Verse:
For Gvery long its like a Cblonde in the Gbleachers
A CJoni Mitchell song comin' Goutta my speakers
CGoin' to the shop for a new Gpair of Fsneakers
EmThen Im Dgonna take a Gwalk. 
Let's rock
(Instrumental, same chords as the Verse)
Verse:
Well my Gsneakers wore out and my Cguitar Gbroke
CSometimes life puts a Gstick in your spokes
CEverybody thinks that I'm Gmakin' a Fjoke
But I'm Emtellin' it Dlike it Gis
I'm a Ghangin' from the branches of my Cfamily Gtree
I know I Clook like my daddy, daddy Glooks like me
HaliCfax Nova Scotia is the Gland of the Ffree
I don't Emcare what the Danthem Gsays
Chorus:
Yeah that's Calright that's OK
You'll be Gstarin' at your phone till your hair goes grey
EmOnce in a while it's Bmbound to ring
CChuck Berry sings my DDing-a-ling-a-lingggg
Verse:
I Glost my map when I Clost my Gphone
CGotta get on the road Ggotta get gone
CAin't gotta a clue how to Gget back Fhome
I guess I Embetter ask Dat the Gbar
