          A            D            A

There's a dark & a troubled side of life.

There's a bright, there's a sunny side, too.

Tho' we meet with the darkness and strife,

    E                      A

The sunny side we also may view.

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side,

If we'll keep on the sunny side of life.

 

INSTRUMENTAL SOLO:  [over intro chords]

 

The storm and its fury broke today,

Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear;

Clouds and storms will, in time, pass away.

The sun again will shine bright and clear.

Let us greet with the song of hope each day.

Tho' the moment be cloudy or fair,

Let us trust in our Saviour away

Who keepeth everyone in His care.
