Standard (EADGBE)
Chorus
Well, sometimes the sun shines on
Other people's houses and not mine
Some days the clouds paint the sky all gray
And it takes away my summertime
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you
While I struggle to get mine
If there's a light in everybody
Send out your ray of sunshine
Verse
I wanna walk the same roads as everybody else
Through the trees and past the gates
Getting high on heavenly breezes
Making new friends along the way
I won't ask much of nobody
I'm just here to sing along
And make my mistakes look gracious
And learn some lessons from my wrongs
(CHORUS)
But sometimes the sun shines on
Other people's houses and not mine
Some days the clouds paint the sky all gray
And it takes away my summertime
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you
While I struggle to get mine
A little light never hurt nobody
Send out your ray of sunshine
Bridge
Oh, if this little light of mine
Combined with yours today
How many watts could we luminate?
How many villages could we save?
My umbrella's tired of the weather
Wearing me down
Well look at me now
Interlude
(VERSE)
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've got a paradise inside
I get hungry for love and thirsty for life
And much to full on the pain
When I look to the sky to help me
And sometimes it looks like rain
(CHORUS)
As the sun shines on
Other people's houses and not mine
And the sky paints the clouds in a way
That it takes away the summertime
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you
While I kindly stand by
If there's a light in everybody
Send out your ray of sunshine
Outro
You're undeniably warm, you're cerulean
You're perfect in design
Won't 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 there's a light in everybody
Send out your ray of sunshine
NOTE: The "C D G" pattern that happens quite a bit in the song could be done with the
chords; I think this is what Jason uses:
