There's a kid a floor below me saying brother can you spare?

Sunshine for a brother old man winter's in the air,
Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb  D MajorD       G+G G7G7
Walked me up a story asking how you are
Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb       D MajorD          [main riff]
Told me not to worry you were just a shooting star...

   Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb       D MajorD        G+G  G7G7
Its a picture perfect evening and i'm staring down the sun,
Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb   D MajorD         G+G G7G7
Fully loaded, deaf and dumb and done,
Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb     D MajorD       G+G G7G7
Waiting for sedation to disconnect my head,
Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb       D MajorD        G+G G7G7
Or any situation where I'm better off than dead......
