 Intro/Chorus-
 Well sometimes the sun  shines on other peoples houses  and not mine,
 And the clouds  paint the sky in a way that takes  away my summertime,
 And somehow the sun  keeps shining upon you while I struggle  to get by,
 If there’s a light  in everybody  send out your ray  of sunshine.
 I wanna walk  the same roads as everybody else through
 the trees  and past the gates.
 I’m getting high  on heavenly breezes
 and making new friends  along  the way.
I  won’t ask much of nobody, I’m just here  to sing-a-long,
 And make  my mistakes look gracious
 and learn some lessons  from  my wrongs.
 But sometimes the sun  shines on other peoples houses  and not mine,
 While the clouds  paint the sky all gray it takes  away the summertime,
 Somehow the sun  keeps shining upon you, while I struggle  to get by,
 If there’s a light  in everybody  send out your ray  of sunshine.
 Ohh if this  little light of mine combined with yours  today.
 How many watts could we luminate?  How many villages could  we save?
 If my  umbrella is tired of the weather wearing  me down,
 Well look  at me now.
 Well you should look  as good as your outlook
 would you mind  if I took some time,
 To soak  up your light your beautiful light
 you got a paradise  inside.
 I get hungry  for love and thirsty for life,
 but much  too full on the pain,
 Cause when I look  to the sky to help me
 it most always  looks  like rain.
 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,
 A little light  never hurt nobody  so send down your ray  of sunshine.
 Chorus/Break-
 Hum over the chorus chords here.
 You’re undeniably warm,  cerulean, your perfect  in design,
 I hope you hang  around
 So the sun  it can shine  on me,
 And the clouds  they can roll  away.
 And the sky  can become our possibility,
 If theres a light  in everybody  send down your ray  of sunshine.

Intro/Chorus-

Well sometimes the s[G]un shines on other peoples h[Cadd9]ouses and not mine,

And the cl[G]ouds paint the sky in a way that t[D]akes away my summertime,

And somehow the s[G]un keeps shining upon you while I s[Cadd9]truggle to get by,

If there’s a l[G]ight in every[D]body send out your r[C]ay of [D]suns[G]hine. [C]   [D]     [G]

I wanna w[G]alk the same roads as everybody else through

the t[Am]rees and past the gates. [B/C]

I’m getting h[C]igh on heavenly breezes

and making new f[C]riends a[D]long the w[G]ay.

[G]I won’t ask much of nobody, I’m just h[Am]ere to sing-a-long, [B/C]

And m[C]ake my mistakes look gracious

and learn some l[C]essons f[D]rom my w[G]rongs.

But sometimes the s[G]un shines on other peoples h[Cadd9]ouses and not mine,

While the cl[G]ouds paint the sky all gray it t[D]akes away the summertime,

Somehow the s[G]un keeps shining upon you, while I s[Cadd9]truggle to get by,

If there’s a l[G]ight in every[D]body send out your r[C]ay of s[D]uns[G]hine. [C]   [D]     [G]

Ohh if t[Em]his little light of mine combined with y[G]ours today.

How many watts could we l[C]uminate? How many villages c[G]ould we save?  [D]

If [Em]my umbrella is tired of the weather we[G]aring me down,

Well l[C]ook at me now.  [Cm]

[G]   [C]    [B/C]  [Am]    [C]  [D]  [G]

Well you should l[G]ook as good as your outlook

would you m[Am]ind if I took some time, [B/C]

To s[C]oak up your light your beautiful light

you got a [C]para[D]dise in[G]side.

I get h[G]ungry for love and thirsty for life,

but m[Am]uch too full on the pain, [B/C]

Cause when I l[C]ook to the sky to help me

it most al[C]ways l[D]ooks like r[G]ain.

Sometimes the s[G]un shines on other peoples h[Cadd9]ouses and not mine,

While the cl[G]ouds paint the sky in a way that t[D]akes away my summertime.

Somehow the s[G]un keeps shining upon you while I k[Cadd9]indly stand by,

A little l[G]ight never hurt no[D]body so send down your r[C]ay of [D]suns[G]hine.

Chorus/Break-

Hum over the chorus chords here.

You’re undeniably w[G]arm, cerulean, your pe[Am]rfect in design, [B/C]
I hope you h[C]ang around   [D]

So the s[G]un it can s[Cadd9]hine on me,

And the cl[G]ouds they can r[D]oll away.

And the s[G]ky can become our p[Cadd9]ossibility,

If theres a l[G]ight in every[D]body send down your r[C]ay of [D]suns[G]hine.
