Michael Franti & Spearhead - Gloria

Capo: 2nd fret

[Verse 1]
G D
When many little people in many little places
Am7 C
Do many little things, then the whole world changes
G D Am7 C
But sometimes not fast enough for me
G D
You see I’m just a little man, trying hard to understand
Am7 C G D Am7 C
What kind of living is a life if I can’t stand on my own two feet

[Pre Chorus]
G D Am7 C
You see we are looking for the same thing
G D Am7 C
And we are trying to survive
G D Am7 C
But I know each day in life don’t get much easier than the last
G D C G
So today I’m just glad to be alive

[Chorus]

And I’m singing
G D Am7 C G D Am7 C
Glo-ria, Glo-ria, Glo-ria, stay by my side

G D Am7 C G D Am7 G
Glo-ria, Glo-ria, Glo-ria, I’m glad to be alive

[Verse 2]
G D
I think that life is a blessing
Am7
And every step, every lesson
C
You want for love and protection
C
To those in me
G D
To all my mothers and fathers
Am7
And all the angels and saints
C G
I’m so glad to be alive

[Verse 3]
G D Am7 C
Seems like there’s never enough time to do the things I wanna do
G D Am7 C
And it never ends
G D Am7 C
But at the end of the day I might not have no money to count or spend

But I know I can count on all my friends (And you call on me)

[Pre Chorus]
G D Am7 C
You see we are looking for the same thing
G D Am7 C
And we are trying to survive
G D Am7 C
But I know each day in life with you gets better than the last
G D C G
So today I’m just glad to be alive

[Chorus]

And I’m singing
G D Am7 C G D Am7 C
Glo-ria, Glo-ria, Glo-ria, stay by my side

G D Am7 C G D Am7 G
Glo-ria, Glo-ria, Glo-ria, I’m glad to be alive
C G
Glad to be alive

[Bridge]
Em C
I’m just trying to find a way to say
Em C
I’m just trying to find a way to say
D
Don’t you ever, ever, ever go away

[Outro]
G D
When many little people in many little places
Am7 C
Do many little things, then the whole world changes
G D Am7 C
But I just want you next to me
N.C.
And I’m singing
G D Am7 C G D Am7 C
Glo-ria, Glo-ria, Glo-ria, stay by my side

G D Am7 C G D Am7 G
Glo-ria, Glo-ria, Glo-ria, I’m glad to be alive
C G
Glad to be alive
N.C.
Singing
G D Am7 C G D Am7 C
Glo-ria, Glo-ria, Glo-ria, stay by my side

G D Am7 C G D Am7 G
Glo-ria, Glo-ria, Glo-ria, I’m glad to be alive
C G
I’m glad to be alive
C G
I’m glad to be alive
