[Amaj7] Sunny skies sleeps in the [E7sus4] morning.
He [Amaj7] doesn't know when to [E7sus4] rise.

the [Amaj7] day, look at him [E7sus4] yawning,
[Amaj7] throwing his [E7sus4] morning hours
[Amaj7] away He knows how to [E7sus4] ease down

[Amaj7] Sunny skies weeps in the [E7sus4] ev'nin'.
It [Amaj7] doesn't much matter [E7sus4] why
I [Amaj7] guess he just has to [E7sus4] cry from time to
[Amaj7] time Everyone's [E7sus4] leavin'
[Amaj7] and Sunny skies [E7sus4] has to stay
[Amaj7] behind Still he knows how to [E7sus4] ease down
[Amaj7] slowly [E7sus4] Everything is fine in the
[Amaj7] end. And you will be [E7sus4] pleased to
[Amaj7] know that [E7sus4] Sunny Skies hasn't a friend.
[Amaj7] Sunny skies sleeps in the [E7sus4] morning.
He [Amaj7] doesn't know when to [E7sus4] rise
He [Amaj7] closes his weary [E7sus4] eyes upon the
[Amaj7] day and [E7sus4] throws it all [Amaj7] (tab) away.

Sunny Skies sleeps in the morning
He doesn't know when to rise
He closes his weary eyes upon the day
Look at him yawning
Throwing his morning hours away
He knows how to ease down slowly
Everything is fine in the end
And you will be pleased to know
That Sunny Skies hasn't a friend
Sunny Skies weeps in the evening
It doesn't much matter why
I guess he just has to cry from time to time
Everyone's leaving
And Sunny Skies has to stay behind
Still he knows how to ease down slow
Everything is fine in the end
And you will be pleased to know
That Sunny Skies hasn't a friend
Sunny Skies sleeps in the morning
He doesn't know when to rise
He closes his weary eyes upon the day
And throws it all away
Looking at the snow and trees that grow outside my window
Looking at the things that pass me by
Wondering if where I've been is worth the things I've been through
Ending with a friend named Sunny Skies
