and John Kean (keanj@agresearch.cri.nz)
Tuning: Standard (Cockburn tunes all strings down one semitone)

Happy Good Morning Blues
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good day to you, fat balloon man
May you always have air
You sing a song everybody can believe
Good day to you, uncle tom cat
Out to drink the whole world
You carry a tune for nobody but yourself
Good day to you, herr policeman
May your boots always fit
Someday you'll find a song you can believe
Good morning good people
The sun is long sailing
The only clouds you see
Are carried within-
Soon they'll be blown all away
Wind gonna rise and blow those clouds away
Wind gonna rise and blow your blues away
Your sun gonna shine on my back door someday
