Keep On The Sunny Side

The Carter Family


Tom: D

D         G              D
There's a dark and a troubled side of life
D                         A
There's a bright, there's a sunny side, too
A                     D
Tho' we meet with the darkness and strife
A                   D
The sunny side we also may view

[Chorus]
D                       G
Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
D                      A
Keep on the sunny side of life
D                          G
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way 
D                A              D
If we'll keep on the sunny side of life

[Verse 2]
The storm and its fury broke today
Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear
Clouds and storms will, in time, pass away
The sun again will shine bright and clear

[Chorus]
D                       G
Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
D                      A
Keep on the sunny side of life
D                          G
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way 
D                A              D
If we'll keep on the sunny side of life

[Verse 3]
Let us greet with the song of hope each day
Tho the moment be cloudy or fair
Let us trust in our Saviour always
Who keepeth everyone in His care

[Chorus]
D                       G
Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
D                      A
Keep on the sunny side of life
D                          G
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way 
D                A              D
If we'll keep on the sunny side of life
