(intro/chorus)
EAadd9
Well sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine,
EB
And the clouds paint the sky in a way that takes away my summertime,
EAadd9
And somehow the sun keeps shining upon you while I struggle to get by,
EBABEABE
If there's a light in everybody send out your ray of sunshine.
(verse 1)
E
I wanna walk the same roads as everybody else through
F#mG#/A
the trees and past the gates.
A
I'm getting high on heavenly breezes
ABE
and making new friends along the way.
EF#mG#/A
I won't ask much of nobody, I'm just here to sing-a-long,
A
And make my mistakes look gracious
ABE
and learn some lessons from my wrongs.
(chorus)
EAadd9
But sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine,
EB
While the clouds paint the sky all gray it takes away the summertime,
EAadd9
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you, while I struggle to get by,
EBABEABE
If there's a light in everybody send out your ray of sunshine.
(bridge)
C#mE
Ohh if this little light of mine combined with yours today.
AEB
How many watts could we luminate? How many villages could we save?
C#mE
If my umbrella is tired of the weather wearing me down,
AAm
Well look at me now.
(break) EAG#/AF#mABE
(verse 2)
E
Well you should look as good as your outlook
F#mG#/A
would you mind if I took some time,
A
To soak up your light your beautiful light
ABE
you got a paradise inside.
E
I get hungry for love and thirsty for life,
F#mG#/A
but much too full on the pain,
A
Cause when I look to the sky to help me
ABE
it most always looks like rain.
(chorus)
EAadd9
Sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine,
EB
While the clouds paint the sky in a way that takes away my summertime.
EAadd9
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you while I kindly stand by,
EBABE
F# little light never hurt nobody so send down your ray of sunshine.
(chorus/break)
Hum over the chorus chords here.
(verse 3)
EF#mG#/A
You're undeniably warm, cerulean, your perfect in design,
AB
I hope you hang around…
EAadd9
So the sun it can shine on me,
EB
And the clouds they can roll away.
EAadd9
And the sky can become our possibility,
EBABE
If theres a light in everybody send down your ray of sunshine.
