Capo III

D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm

     D MajorD                    E minorEm                      F# minorF#m                E minorEm    D MajorD
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
