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
