E      B       E      A           E    B       
Hey hey, do do do do, do do do do do, do do 
E      B       E      A           E    B        
Hey hey, do do do do, do do do do do, do do 

verse 1: 
E                                  B               E 
What should I compare you to, that sun on winter's day? 
A               E                     B              B7 
Tulips standing proud and bright when all around is grey 
E                               B          E 
What should I compare you to, a comet or a star? 
  A              E                      B                    E 
A little flicker where you've been or a lighthouse where you are? 
     A             E          B               E 
Well I'm a certain person who sees a sense of life 
     A                E              B              E 
That hides behind the glory days and only shines at night
