F F F F G G Dm Dm Fadd9 Fm B/F Dm Intro/Chorus-
                    F                           Fadd9
Well sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine,

          F                                 G
And the clouds paint the sky in a way that takes away my summertime,

                 F                                  Fadd9
And somehow the sun keeps shining upon you while I struggle to get by,

              F            G                   F     G   F     F G F
If there’s a light in everybody send out your ray of sunshine.
Verse 1-
         F
I wanna walk the same roads as everybody else through 

     Dm                       E/F
the trees and past the gates.

             F                     
I’m getting high on heavenly breezes 

                F       G         F
and making new friends along the way.

F                                     Dm                  E/F
I won’t ask much of nobody, I’m just here to sing-a-long,

     F
And make my mistakes look gracious 

                F       G       F
and learn some lessons from my wrongs.
Chorus-
                   F                           Fadd9
But sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine,

            F                               G
While the clouds paint the sky all gray it takes away the summertime,

             F                                   Fadd9
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you, while I struggle to get by,

              F            G                   F      G  F     F G F
If there’s a light in everybody send out your ray of sunshine.
Bridge-
        Dm                                      F
Ohh if this little light of mine combined with yours today.

                         F                           F              G
How many watts could we luminate? How many villages could we save?

   Dm                                    F
If my umbrella is tired of the weather wearing me down,

      F               Fm        
Well look at me now.
Break- F F E/F Dm F G F Verse 2-
                 F
Well you should look as good as your outlook 

           Dm                       E/F
would you mind if I took some time,

    F
To soak up your light your beautiful light 

          F   G      F
you got a paradise inside.

       F       
I get hungry for love and thirsty for life,

     Dm                        E/F
but much too full on the pain,

              F       
Cause when I look to the sky to help me 

          F     G          F
it most always looks like rain.
Chorus-
               F                           Fadd9
Sometimes the sun shines on other peoples houses and not mine,

            F                                 G
While the clouds paint the sky in a way that takes away my summertime.

             F                                  Fadd9
Somehow the sun keeps shining upon you while I kindly stand by,

          F                 G                       F     G   F
A little light never hurt nobody so send down your ray of sunshine.
Chorus/Break- Hum over the chorus chords here. Verse 3-
                   F                     Dm               E/F
You’re undeniably warm, cerulean, your perfect in design,

            F            G
I hope you hang around…

        F          Fadd9
So the sun it can shine on me,

          F              G
And the clouds they can roll away.

         F                  Fadd9
And the sky can become our possibility,

             F            G                    F     G   F
If theres a light in everybody send down your ray of sunshine.
