Intro/Chorus- 

                    G                           Cadd9 
Well sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine, 

          G                                 D 
And the clouds paint the sky in a way that takes away my summertime, 

                 G                                  Cadd9 
And somehow the sun keeps shining upon you while I struggle to get by, 

              G            D                   C     D   G     C D G 
If there?s a light in everybody send out your ray of sunshine. 

verse 1- 

         G 
I wanna walk the same roads as everybody else through  

     Am                       B/C 
the trees and past the gates. 

             C                      
I'm getting high on heavenly breezes  

                C       D         G 
and making new friends along the way. 

G                                     Am                  B/C 
I won?t ask much of nobody, I'm just here to sing-a-long, 

     C 
And make my mistakes look gracious  

                C       D       G 
and learn some lessons from my wrongs. 



                   G                           Cadd9 
But sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine, 

            G                               D 
While the clouds paint the sky all gray it takes away the summertime, 

             G                                   Cadd9 
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you, while I struggle to get by, 

              G            D                   C      D  G     C D G 
If there?s a light in everybody send out your ray of sunshine. 


Bridge- 

        Em                                      G 
Ohh if this little light of mine combined with yours today. 

                         C                           G              D 
How many watts could we luminate? How many villages could we save? 

   Em                                    G 
If my umbrella is tired of the weather wearing me down, 

      C               Cm         
Well look at me now. 

Break- 

G   C    B/C  Am    C  D  G  

verse 2- 

                 G 
Well you should look as good as your outlook  

           Am                       B/C 
would you mind if I took some time, 

    C 
To soak up your light your beautiful light  

          C   D      G 
you got a paradise inside. 

       G        
I get hungry for love and thirsty for life, 

     Am                        B/C 
but much too full on the pain, 

              C        
Cause when I look to the sky to help me  

          C     D          G 
it most always looks like rain. 



               G                           Cadd9 
Sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine, 

            G                                 D 
While the clouds paint the sky in a way that takes away my summertime. 

             G                                  Cadd9 
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you while I kindly stand by, 

          G                 D                       C     D   G 
A little light never hurt nobody so send down your ray of sunshine.

verse 3- 

                   G                     Am               B/C 
You're undeniably warm, cerulean, your perfect in design, 
            C            D 
I hope you hang around? 

        G          Cadd9 
So the sun it can shine on me, 

          G              D 
And the clouds they can roll away. 

         G                  Cadd9 
And the sky can become our possibility, 

             G            D                    C     D   G 
If theres a light in everybody send down your ray of sunshine.
