When I woke this morning, something inside of me, told me this would be my day
E minorEm F# minorF#m E minorEm D MajorD
I heard the morning train, I felt the wind change, too many times I'm on my way
A augmentedA D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Come on sunshine, what can you show me
G+G D MajorD E7E7 A augmentedA
Where can you take me to make me understand
G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
G+G D MajorD G+G Asus4Asus4
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain
D MajorD E minorEm F# minorF#m E minorEm D MajorD
And then I saw the sunrise, above the cotton sky, like a candy cane delight
E minorEm F# minorF#m E minorEm D MajorD
I saw the milkman, I saw the business man, I saw the only road in sight
E minorEm F# minorF#m E minorEm D MajorD
Then I got to thinking, what makes you want to go, to know the wherefore and the why
E minorEm F# minorF#m E minorEm D MajorD
So many times now, oh lord I can't remember, if its September or July
D MajorD E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD
E minorEm F# minorF#m E minorEm D MajorD
Then all at once it came to me, I saw the wherefore, and you can see it if you try
E minorEm F# minorF#m E minorEm D MajorD
It's in the sun above, it's in the one you love, you'll never know the reason why
A augmentedA D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Come on sunshine, what can you show me
G+G D MajorD E7E7 A augmentedA
Where can you take me to make me understand
G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
G+G D MajorD G+G Asus4Asus4
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain
So much to lose, so much to gain
D MajorD E minorEm F# minorF#m E minorEm D MajorD
