The Basics play this in A, capoed at the fourth fret (I think), but I learned to play it this way. The words and chords in parentheses are stuff that my college group does when we sing it. I don't think they're in the actual song... Enjoy, and God bless! It's Alright -- by the Basics (Written by Tom Lillo) D A (D) Walking through the valley, all my troubles close at hand, Bm G D A I am just a pilgrim searching for the promised land D A (D) Devil's on my tail, you know he's dogged me all the way Bm G A D every time I lose him he comes back another day... (but...) D G (step down bass notes) Chorus: It's alright (echo) it's alright (echo) Em A G D You know I'm bound for glory, and it's alright (repeat) D A (D) Wandering through the desert, it seems like forty years, Bm G A D Don't know where I'm going but when I started it was clear D A (D) Sun beats down on upon me, hot sand burns my feet (yeowch!) Bm G A D Without that Living Water I would perish from the heat... A G D Bridge: When the road is rocky, when the wind begins to blow A F#m G D seems I've journeyed so far, but there's so far left to go A G D When I lose the heart to try, when I slip and fall A F#m G A Still I hear that gentle voice, still I hear that call... (...sayin' to me...)
