That Lucky Old Sun

Seth Avett


Tom: G

G                 Em
Up in the mornin', out on the job
Bm            C            G
Work like the devil for my pay.
         C
And that lucky old sun
         G          Em
he's got nothin’ to do
    Am7         D7         G
But roll around heaven all day.

[Verse]
G                  Em
Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids
Bm              C            G
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
         C
Well the lucky old sun,
       G          Em
he got nothing to do
    Am7          D7        G
But roll around heaven all day

[Chorus]
     Em       Bm              C          G
Good Lord up above, can’t you see I’m cryin’
C          D      G
Tears are in my eyes.
Em            Bm             C          G
Send down a cloud with that silver lining,
Am7         Eb6  D7
Take me to paradise.

[Verse]
G                  Em
Show me that river, lead me across
Bm           C          G
Wash all my troubles away
           C
like that lucky old sun,
         G         Em
give me nothing to do
Am7              D7         G
But roll around heaven all day.

[Chorus]
     Em       Bm              C          G
Good Lord up above, can’t you see I’m cryin’
C          D      G
Tears are in my eyes.
Em            Bm             C          G
Send down a cloud with that silver lining,
Am7         Eb6  D7
Take me to paradise.

[Verse]
G                  Em
Show me that river, lead me across
    Bm            C          G
and watch all my troubles away
           C
like that lucky old sun,
         G         Em
give me nothing to do
Am7              D7         G
But roll around heaven all day.

           C
like that lucky old sun,
         G         Em
give me nothing to do
Am7              D7         G
But roll around heaven all day.
