[Verse 1]
C C
I choose my eyes wide open and my heart half-broken everytime
F C
over the gilded golden shackle and the reassuring sentimental lie.
C C
I've seen the rolling meadows and the cruelest ghettos in this town,
F C
I know the baker and the undertaker and the girl with the stars on her gown.
[Pre-Chorus]
F F C G
But the song that sounds the best to me is the course of the maple tree
F F C G
that river bends in through the sea. It's course is fixed and so are we. It seems.
[Chorus]
C C G C F C G G
But I've got sunshine, sunshine all over me,
C C G C F C G G
and brown eyes, blue skies are all I see.
[Verse 2]
C C
I do not care to offer any commentary on the world,
F C
I only sing for the pleasure and for a certain sentimental girl.
C Am
I did not come to establish any new worlds up somewhere up in the clouds,
F C
I just want to make love in the morning, work 'til evening and then watch the sun go down.
[Pre-Chorus]
F F C G
Over the aimless and upward climb, the hidden hand and searching vine,
F F C G
this river bends into the sea. It's course is fixed and so are we. It seems.
[Chorus]
C C G C F C G G
But I've got sunshine, sunshine all over me,
C C G C F C G G
and brown eyes, blue skies are all I see.
[Bridge]
F G
And the strangest food it grows from the ledge.
F G G
My friends, my friends, go near to the edge.
[Chorus]
C C G C F C G G
But I've got sunshine, sunshine all over me,
C C G C F C G G
and brown eyes, blue skies are all I see.
[Chorus]
C C G C F C G G
But I've got sunshine, sunshine all over me,
C C G C F C G G
and brown eyes, blue skies are all I see.
[Outro]
C F
Those who are mining for gold get prematurely old, trying not to disappear.
C
But I'm just a ditchdigger. When I'm gone, forget that I was here.
