                                 Em
See the little cloud up in the sky
       D             G
It's a good good day today
                             Em
See the little cloud pass on by
       D             G
It's a good good day today
        
G                        C
Mary comes now, let Mary be
        D                   G
Can you see her down on the street?
                            C
Mary's laughing 'cause Mary sees
            D                       G
That she's a-wearin' that dress for me

             C     G
There can be times, yeah
Em          D       
When no things 
C         G
come together, yeah
Em            D
Under a clear sky 
            C        G
and you can believe, yeah
  Em          D
You hold your breath 
         C       G
for this moment, yeah
Em         D
But do not breathe 
    C        D
for this day alone
     C               D
Is a good day, yes I know
       C                D
It's a good day, yeah I know
G
Today

Hear her feet skipping up the stairs
It's a good good day today
She is the answer to all of my prayers
It's a good good day today

Mary comes now, she don't knock
'Cause she's runnin' on her own little clock
Mary's laughing 'cause Mary knows
That this day was meant for us
And Mary full knows, yeah
And any foresees that the future, yeah
Is a-down on its knees
And are all crying and a-reelin'
And tears roll down their cheeks
'Cause I can believe in the one
That is standing in front of me
On this day, don't you know
Is a good day, yes I know
It's a good day, I told you so
Today

See her breasts how they rise and fall
It's a good good day today
And she knows I've used that line before
It's a good good day today

Mary's laughing, she don't mind
'Cause she knows she's one of a kind
Mary's laughing, just to me
Standing next to me
And April knows, yeah
That the wind always blows
Something to someone, yeah
Once in a while, so let it rain
Let it fall
Let the wind, oh, through your door
'Cause right now for this moment
For ever me
Standing next to her
On this day, which I know
Is a good day, yeah I know
Oh, it's a good day, I told you so
Today
