 Intro: A-D - A - D - E - A
 
 (verse 1)
 A      E         D         A      
 I grew up under normal conditions,
              E      D             E       
 Mom was the radio, Dad was the television,
 A               E         D              E    
  They both were doin the best that they could,
        A          E          D          A  
 Workin 50 hour a weeks and knockin on wood,

 (verse 2)
 A          E            D             A   
 I did my time in the public school system,
             E            D           E             
 I got good grades, and never got a shred of wisdom,
 A                 E              D           E  
  Can't blame my teachers, for anything they did,
      A                 E        D   A   
 You can't teach one on one with 33 kids,
 
 
 (chorus)
           A      E        D     A     
 And it's oohh - oohh I'm doin alright,
               E              D       A    
 I work every day to get to Saturday Night,
           A      E                D    A  
 And it's oohh - oohh I' guess I'm doin ok,

 (verse 3)
 well I found the one, we put some rooms down,
 Got a second mortgage on the outskirts of town,
 Now we BBQ every Fourth of July,
 Send our prayers and our fireworks up into the sky,
 
 (chorus)
           A      E        D     A
