D Em7/9  Em7 Em7/9   A7  
When Sunny   gets blue 
      Gm7            Gdim 
Her eyes get gray and cloudy 
D           Em        F#m7  Fm7 
Then the rain begins to fall 
Em7            Gm7           
Pitter patter, pitter patter 
Dm7         Fm7 
Love is gone so what can matter 
Em7         A7        D   B7 
No sweet lovin' man comes to call 
D  Em7/9 Em7 Em7/9 A7   
When Sunny   gets blue  
      Gm7             Gdim 
She breathes a sigh of sadness  
D              Em          F#m7   Fm7 
Like the wind that stirs the trees 
Em7                Gm7                
Wind that sets the leaves to swayin'  
Dm7          Fm7 
Like some violins are playin'  
Em7          A7     D     D6 
Weird and haunting melodies 
Em7         A7      D       
People used to love to hear  
     Bm7 
Her laugh, see her smile  
Em7         A7     D     D6 
That's how she got her name 
Bm5-/7           E7   
Since that sad affair  
       A7M             F#m7 
She's lost her smile, changed her style 
Bm5-/7     E7      Em7    A7      
Somehow she's not the same 
  Em7/9   Em7   Em7/9    
But memo'ries will fade  
A7     Gm7            Gdim 
And pretty dreams will rise up  
D          Em       F#m7      Fm7 
Where her other dreams fell through 
Em7          Gm7         Dm7  
Hurry, new love, hurry here  
           Fm7 
To kiss away each lonely tear 
  Em7             Gdim   F#m7   Fm7 
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue 
Em7          Gm7         Dm7 
Hurry, new love, hurry here  
          Fm7 
To kiss away each lonely tear,  
  Em7             Gdim A7  D    Bm7   G/B G/Bb D 
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue
