That lucky old sun (midi)

C - Am

1. Up in the mornin', out on the job,

C F C - F - C

work like the devil for my pay,

F Fm C A

but that lucky old sun has nothin' to do,

Dm G C

but roll around heaven all day.

C - Am

2. Fuss with my woman, toil for my kids

C F C - C7

sweat till I'm wrinkled and gray,

F Fm C A

while that lucky old sun got nothin' to do,

Dm G C

but roll around heaven all day

Am Em F C F G C

Good Lord up above, can't you know I'm pining, tears all in my eyes.

Am Em F C Am - F G

Send down that cloud with the silver lining, lift me to Paradise.

C - Am

3. Show me that river, take me across,

C F C - F - C

and wash all my troubles away,

F Fm C A

like that lucky old sun, give me nothing to do,

Dm G C

but roll around heaven all day.

+ CHORUS + repeat verse 3
