Intro/Chorus-

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

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

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

              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

     B/C
the trees and past the gates.

             C
I’m getting high on heavenly breezes

                G
and making new friends along the way.

B/C
I won’t ask much of nobody, I’m just here to sing-a-long,

     C
And make my mistakes look gracious

                G
and learn some lessons from my wrongs.

Chorus-

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

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

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

              G
If there’s a light in everybody send out your ray of sunshine.

Bridge-

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

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

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

      Cm
Well look at me now.

Break-

G

Verse 2-

                 G
Well you should look as good as your outlook

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

    C
To soak up your light your beautiful light

          G
you got a paradise inside.

       G
I get hungry for love and thirsty for life,

     B/C
but much too full on the pain,

              C
Cause when I look to the sky to help me

          G
it most always looks like rain.

Chorus-

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

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

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

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

Chorus/Break-

Hum over the chorus chords here.

Verse 3-

                   B/C
You’re undeniably warm, cerulean, your perfect in design,
            D
I hope you hang around…

        Cadd9
So the sun it can shine on me,

          D
And the clouds they can roll away.

         Cadd9
And the sky can become our possibility,

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