Tom: G
(intro/chorus)
G Cadd9
Well sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine,
G D
And the clouds paint the sky in a way that takes away my summertime,
G Cadd9
And somehow the sun keeps shining upon you while I struggle to get by,
G D C D G C D 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
Am B/C
the trees and past the gates.
C
I'm getting high on heavenly breezes
C D G
and making new friends along the way.
G Am B/C
I won't ask much of nobody, I'm just here to sing-a-long,
C
And make my mistakes look gracious
C D G
and learn some lessons from my wrongs.
(chorus)
G Cadd9
But sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine,
G D
While the clouds paint the sky all gray it takes away the summertime,
G Cadd9
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you, while I struggle to get by,
G D C D G C D G
If there's a light in everybody send out your ray of sunshine.
(bridge)
Em G
Ohh if this little light of mine combined with yours today.
C G D
How many watts could we luminate? How many villages could we save?
Em G
If my umbrella is tired of the weather wearing me down,
C Cm
Well look at me now.
(break) G C B/C Am C D G
(verse 2)
G
Well you should look as good as your outlook
Am B/C
would you mind if I took some time,
C
To soak up your light your beautiful light
C D G
you got a paradise inside.
G
I get hungry for love and thirsty for life,
Am B/C
but much too full on the pain,
C
Cause when I look to the sky to help me
C D G
it most always looks like rain.
(chorus)
G Cadd9
Sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine,

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

Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you while I kindly stand by,
G D C D G
A little light never hurt nobody so send down your ray of sunshine.
(chorus/break)
Hum over the chorus chords here.
(verse 3)
G Am B/C
You're undeniably warm, cerulean, your perfect in design,
C D
I hope you hang around…
G Cadd9
So the sun it can shine on me,
G D
And the clouds they can roll away.
G Cadd9
And the sky can become our possibility,
G D C D G
If theres a light in everybody send down your ray of sunshine.
