Ah! Oh ain't it [C6]grand to live and [Dm7]breathe
To let your [C6]chest expand

[Em7]song
When life is [D6]notes to you
[Bm]I've got [Bm+7]eternal
youth [Bm7]becau...[Bm6]ause
[A]I've got my [A7]heart
where it be[D7]longs
[Am]Don't care who [Am+7]makes
the nation's [Am7]la...[Am6]aws
[Dm]Long as I can [Dm7]sing
its [G7sus4]songs [G7]
I love to [Cadd9]sing-a
About the [Abm7]moon-a [Am7]and
the [Abm7]June-a [Am7]and
the [C6]spring-a
I love to [Dm7]sing-a [Fm6]
'Bout the [C]sky of [Am]blue-a,
or a [Dm]tea for [G7]two-a
Any[C]thing-a with a [Am]swing-a
to an [Dm]I love [G7]you-[Cdim]a

Give me a [Cadd9]song-a
About a [Abm7]son-a [Am7]gun-a
[Abm7]went and [Am7]done
her [C6]wrong-a
But keep it [Dm7]clean-a [Fm6]
With a [C]cottage [Am]small-a
by the [Dm]water [G7]fall-a
Any [C]sob-a that'll [Am]throb-a
to a [Dm]bluebird's [G7]call-[Cdim]a

me
[D7]Got through Yale with [D6]boola

[D7]La-de-dah! Ol' [Dm]microphone's
got [G7]me!
I love to [Cadd9]sing-a
I love to [Abm7]wake up [Am7]with
the [Abm7]south-a i[Am7]n
my [C6]mouth-a
And wave the [Dm7]flag-a [Fm6]
With a [C]cheer for Uncle [Am]Sammy
And a[Dm]nother for my Mam[D7]my
[Dm]I.... [G7]love-a
to [C]sing!
