[Verse 1]
GI was born my papa’s son
A Cwandering eye and a Fsmokin’ CgunG  
GNow some of you who’ve lived through me
Would Clock me up and Fthrow Caway the Gkey
GOr just find a place to hide away
And Chope that I’ll just Fgo awCay,  Ghuh
[Chorus]
GI feel alrightEm  D  
CI feel alright toGnight
GI feel alrightEm  D  
CI feel alright toGnight
[Verse 2]
Now I bring you precious contraband
And ancient tales from distant lands
Of conquerors and concubines
And conjurers from darker times
Of betrayal and conspiracy
Sacrilege and heresy
[Chorus]
That I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
I feel alright, I feel alright tonight
[Verse 3]
I’ve got everything you want and need
Your darkest fear your fondest dreams
Ask you questions tell you lies
Criticize and sympathize
Well be careful what you wish for friend
‘Cause I’ve been to hell and now I’m back again
[Chorus]
I feel alright, yeah I feel alright tonight
Yeah I feel alright, and I feel alright tonight
I feel alright, I feel alright

[Verse 1]

I was born my papa’s son

C F C G

A wandering eye and a smokin’ gun

Now some of you who’ve lived through me

C F C G

Would lock me up and throw away the key

Or just find a place to hide away

C F C G

And hope that I’ll just go away, huh

[Chorus]

G Em D

I feel alright

C G

I feel alright tonight

G Em D

I feel alright

C G

I feel alright tonight

[Verse 2]

Now I bring you precious contraband

And ancient tales from distant lands

Of conquerors and concubines

And conjurers from darker times

Of betrayal and conspiracy

Sacrilege and heresy

[Chorus]

That I feel alright, I feel alright tonight

I feel alright, I feel alright tonight

[Verse 3]

I’ve got everything you want and need

Your darkest fear your fondest dreams

Ask you questions tell you lies

Criticize and sympathize

Well be careful what you wish for friend

‘Cause I’ve been to hell and now I’m back again

[Chorus]

I feel alright, yeah I feel alright tonight

Yeah I feel alright, and I feel alright tonight

I feel alright, I feel alright
