          timing 4

  verse 1

  E  B7                              E B7
 baby, i see this world has made you sad
                   E   B7
some people can be bad
            (F#)          B7 B7
the things they do, they say
      E   B7                           E   B7
,but baby i’ll wipe away those bitter tears
                                 E   A
i’ll chase away those restless fears
                (F#)              B7 B7
that turn your blue skies into grey

CHORUS
      E      A               B7               E  
(why) wor-ry, there should be laughter after pain
A               B7             E
there should be sunshine after rain
A            B7                    E
these things have always been the same
A      B7      E
so why wor-ry now?
A    B7        E    B7
why wor-ry now?

VERSE 2
 E B7                 E  B7
baby, when i turn to you
                          E     A
 and you make sense of what i do
            (F#)         B7 B7
 i know it isnt hard to say
      E B7                                 E    B7
but baby, just when this world seems mean and cold
                                E   A
our love comes shining red and gold
            (F#)            B7 B7
and all the rest is by the way.

THATS IT EXCEPT I MADE A TAB INTERPRETATION OF WHAT HE SINGS IN THE CHORUS.
