Ironic by Alanis Morisette
Capo -- 4th fret 

    D  G   D              Em
An old man  turned ninety-eight   
            D   G      D            Em
He won the lottery and died the next day
       D     G          D        Em
Itīs a black fly in your  Chardonnay
       D         G          D           Em
Itīs a death row pardon two minutes too late
          D    G  D               Em
Isnīt it ironic ... donīt you think 


Chorus:
         D   G         D       Em
Itīs like rain on your wedding day
            D  G             D       Em
Itīs a free ride when youīve already paid
              D  G            D           Em
Itīs the good advice that you just didnīt take
    F          C                  D 
Who wouldīve thought ... it figures 


   D        G       D         Em
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
   D          G            D              Em
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
              D          G       D         Em
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
           D             G                     
And as the plane crashed down he thought
D                  Em
" Well isnīt this nice ... "
              D    G  D               Em
And isnīt it ironic ... donīt you think

Itīs a free ride when youīve already paid

      Cmaj7                  D 
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
                            Cmaj7                       D
When you think everythingīs okay and everythingīs going right 
     Cmaj7                  D
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
                                       Cmaj7                  
You think everythingīs gone wrong and everything blows up
         D
In your face


  D       G              D         Em
A traffic jam when youīre  already late
     D       G            D        Em
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
          D            G                  D         Em
Itīs like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
                  D        G       
Itīs meeting the man of my dreams
                     D         Em
And then meeting his beautiful wife
              D    G  D               Em
And isnīt it ironic ... donīt you think
        D     G                    D        Em
A little too ironic ... and yeah I really do think ...


Chorus:
         D   G         D       Em
Itīs like rain on your wedding day
            D  G             D       Em
Itīs a free ride when youīve already paid
              D  G            D           Em
Itīs the good advice that you just didnīt take
