The Good Life
by Thirsty Merc
The intro, verses and choruses are all the same sequence, only the bridge breaks trope.
The overall feel and structure falls somewhere between the rock anthem greats
"To Be With You" by Mr. Big, and "Life is a Highway" by Tom Cochrane.
It might be easier to play this on Capo 3 and drop it three semitones in UG tools, but open is always better.
[Intro]
Eb    Gm    Ab    Eb

How you doin'?
[Verse 1]
EbSome of us spend all Gmour time
AbChasing dreams of Ebdollar signs
But BbI've got riches of a Cmdifferent kind
AbLove is my fortuneEb  
Eb'cause all the bucks don't make Gmno sense
