Sunshine

Words & Music:

Jonathan Edwards

 

A                                               E

Sunshine, go away today, I don't feel much like dancing.

A

Some man's come, he's trying to run my life.

                          D

I don't believe what he's asking.

He tells me I'd better get in line, I don't believe what he's saying.

When I grow up I'm going to make it mine.

But, these ain't dues I been paying.

 

CHORUS:

     D                A      [n.c.]

But, how much does it cost?  I'll buy it.

The time is all we've lost.  I'll try it.

     D             A

But, he can't even run his own life.

        G                   E7

I'll be damned if he'll run mine, Sunshine!

 

Sunshine, go away today, I don't feel much like dancing.

Some man's come, he's trying to run my life.

I don't believe what he's asking.

Working starts to make you wonder where

The fruits of what I do are going

He says, "In love and war, all is fair."

But, he's got cards he ain't showing.

 

CHORUS:

 

Sunshine, come on back another day.  Pretty soon, I'll be singing.

This old world, gonna turn around.  Brand new bells will be ringing.

 

CHORUS:
