Capo III

D Em D Em

   D          Em           F#m        Em  D
When I woke this morning, something inside of me, told me this would be my day
              Em           F#m        Em  D
I heard the morning train, I felt the wind change, too many times I'm on my way

A    D     G      D
Come on sunshine, what can you show me
G       D     E7      A
Where can you take me to make me understand
  G    D     G      D
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
  G    D       G        Asus4
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain

  D            Em          F#m     Em   D
And then I saw the sunrise, above the cotton sky, like a candy cane delight
          Em           F#m      Em   D
I saw the milkman, I saw the business man, I saw the only road in sight
            Em             F#m     Em        D
Then I got to thinking, what makes you want to go, to know the wherefore and the why
          Em            F#m    Em     D
So many times now, oh lord I can't remember, if its September or July

D Em A D
                Em          F#m        Em   D
Then all at once it came to me, I saw the wherefore, and you can see it if you try
            Em            F#m          Em   D
It's in the sun above, it's in the one you love, you'll never know the reason why

A    D     G      D
Come on sunshine, what can you show me
G       D     E7      A
Where can you take me to make me understand
  G    D     G      D
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
  G    D       G        Asus4
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain

So much to lose, so much to gain

D Em F#m Em  D
