Blue skies over my head 
  G             Am7         C        D7      
Give me another reason to get out of bed 
      G   Am7   C          D7   
And blue skies shine on my face

Give me another  woman  to     take  her  place 


Ain't got no money, cupboards are bare 
No cigarettes and the kids got nothing to wear 
She walked out without a word 
        Em   Em/D   Em/C    Em/B   Am7     D7   
Now the only sound  left is the    morning bird singing 

Blue skies over my head 
Give me another reason to get out of bed 
And blue skies shine on my face 
Give me another woman to take her place 

Blue skies over my head 
Give me another reason to get out of bed 
And blue skies shine on my face 
Give me another woman to take her place 
Give me another woman to take her place
