Intro: G  Am  Bm  Am   

verse 1 

G                        Am                     Bm 
When I woke this mornin' something inside of me 
                    Am    G 
Told me, This would be my day. 
G                         Am 
I heard the mornin' train,   I felt the wind change. 
Bm                  Am    G 
Too many times, I'm on my way. 

 

D        G         C            G 
Come on, sunshine, what can you show me 
C             G          A7           D 
Where can you take me to make me understand 
C            G         C           G        C 
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me. 
             G             C               Dsus4 
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain 

verse 2 

G                      Am                 Bm              Am      G 
Then I saw the sunrise above a cotton sky    like a candy cane delight. 
                   Am                     Bm             Am      G 
I saw the milkman, I saw the businessman, I saw the only road in sight. 
                            Am                       Bm  
And then I got to thinkin', what makes you want to go   to know the  
          Am      G 
wherefore and the why 
G                  Am                        Bm                 Am  G 
So many times now, O Lord, I can't remember, if it is September or July 
 

D        G         C            G 
Come on, sunshine, what can you show me 
C             G          A7           D 
Where can you take me to make me understand 
C            G         C           G        C 
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me. 
             G             C               Dsus4 
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain 

G  Am  Bm  Am  G 

Bridge 

G                              Am             
And all at once it came to me. I saw the wherefore, 
Bm                 Am     G 
And you can see it if you try. 
                       Am 
It's in the sun above, it's in the ones you love. 
Bm                    Am     G 
You'll never know the reason why. 

Outro 

D        G         C            G 
Come on, sunshine, what can you show me 
C              G          A7          D 
Where can you take me to make me understand 
C            G         C           G        C 
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me. 
             G             C               Dsus4 
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain 

So much to lose, so much to gain.
