Pretty Good
G
I got a friend in Fremont, he sells used cars, you know.
G
Well, he calls me up twice a year just to ask me how'd it go?
C G
Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain,
D D7 G
'Cause actually everything is just about the same.
I met a girl from Venus, and her insides were lined in gold.
Well, she did what she did, said, "How was it, kid?" She was politely told,
"Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain,
But actually everything is just about the same."
C G
Moonlight makes me dizzy;
C G
Sunlight makes me clean;
C G
Your light is the sweetest thing
C D7
That this boy has ever seen.
Molly went to Arkansas, she got raped by Dobbin's dog.
She was doing good till she went in the woods and got pinned up against a log.
Pretty good, not bad, she can't complain,
'Cause actually all them dogs is just about the same.
Moonlight makes me dizzy;
Sunlight makes me clean;
Your light is the sweetest thing
This boy has ever seen.
I heard Allah and Buddha were singing at the Savior's feast,
And up in the sky an Arabian rabbi fed Quaker Oats to a priest.
Pretty good, not bad, they can't complain,
'Cause actually all them Gods are just about the same.
Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain,
D D7
'Cause actually everything is just about,
D D7
Actually everything is just about,
D D7 G
Actually everything is just about the same.
