D/F#          G 
Sometimes I’m happy, 
D/F#          A 
Sometimes I’m sad. 
D/F#             G 
Sometimes I feel good, 
Em             A 
Sometimes it’s bad. 

D/F#          G 
But when I am happy, 
        F#           Em 
And I’m holding your hand, 
D/F#        G 
Nothing can stop me, 
        A          D/F# 
Not the sea or the sand. 

D/F#          G 
But when I am sad, 
       F#          Em 
And my head’s in a whirl, 
  D/F#           G 
I can’t get happy,  
        A           D/F# 
Not for diamonds or pearls. 
  D/F#           G 
I just can’t get happy,  
        A           D/F# 
Not for diamonds or pearls.
