Everything Is Cool
John Prine

E             A                   E
Everything is cool - Everything's okay
                     B7                     E
Why just before last Christmas my baby went away

E                    A                                 E
Across the sea to an island while the bridges brightly burn
                 B7                             E
So far away from my land the valley of the unconcerned
                       A                             E
I was walking down the road, man, just looking at my shoes
                    B7                          E
When God sent me an angel just to chase away my blues

E                        A                               E
I saw a hundred thousand blackbirds just flying thru the sky
                          B7                                   E
And they seemed to form a teardrop from a black haired angel's eye
                   A                               E
That tear fell all around me and it washed my sins away
                  B7                   E
Now everything is cool - Everything's okay

E             A                   E
Everything is cool - Everything's okay
                     B7                     E
Why just before last Christmas my baby went away
                   A                                E                       
And I find it real surprising for myself to hear me say
                   B7                  E
That everything is cool - Everything's okay
              B7                  E
Everything is cool - Everything's okay
                     B7                     E
