| D | A | G | D | |
| If | money grew on | hackberry trees and | time wasn't such a | luxury |
| G | D | Bm | A | |
| If | love was lovesick | over | me | that'd be alright |
| D | A | G | D | |
| If | I could keep the | wind in my sails keep a | hold of the tiger | by the tail |
| G | D | Bm | D | |
| And | half a ham sandwich in | my lunch | pail that'd be al | right |
| CHORUS: |
| D | A | G | D | |
| That'd be al | right, | that'd be al | right |
| G | D | |
| If every | body everywhere had a | lighter load to bear |
| G | D | |
| And a | little bigger piece of the | pie |
| G | D | Bm | |
| We'd be | living us a pretty good | life |
| A | D | |
| And that'd be al | right |
| D | A | |
| Go | heavy on the good and | light on the bad |
| G | D | |
| A | hair more happy and a | shade less sad |
| G | D | Bm | A | |
| Turn | all negatives | down just a | tad | That'd be alright |
| D | A | G | D | |
| If my | dear old dog | never got old and the | family farm never got | sold |
| G | D | Bm | A | C | |
| A | nother bad joke | never got | told, | that'd be al | right |
| CHORUS: |
| INSTRUMENTAL: |
| CHORUS: X2 |
| That'd be alright; That'd be alright; That'd be alright |
