Blue Sunny Day by Jonathan Coulton

Capo 2nd fret

So as this song uses a capo on the second fret, i've decided to use the names
of the actual chords rather than the basic shape names like most people do.
I think it's misleading and unhelpful for you to learn a song and start
unconsciously linking the wrong chord names to the wrong sounds. So hopefully
you wont notice a huge difference when learning it, but it'll be worth it.
Let me know if your really struggling though and i'll see what I can do for you.

D                 A               Bm               F#
Early light that burns my eyes, A minute more the sun will rise
    G                     D               A (Fig. 1)
And paint the bright blue sky with yellow gold
D             A              Bm              F#
I'll be dead asleep by then, Shut up in this box again
  C#m7b5   F#    C#m7b5  F#
Until it's gone, Outside I can hear it


B                  C#m/B             Ebm/B          E/B
Birds are singing, bees are buzzing, sun shines overhead

I'd be there to see it but I can't get out of bed
D                 Em7               D                 G/E
Since the day you left the weather always feels this way

One more blue            sunny day



Bm  F#m7

D              A            Bm              F#
Looking for an easy mark, I hit the Denny's after dark
    G             D                A (Fig 1)
And take a lonely waitress home to drink
D                  A                  Bm               F#
She's sincere, but halfway through, I find I'm wishing she was you
   C#m7b5     F#      C#m7b5     F#
My blood goes cold, I guess this date is over


B             C#m/B         Ebm/B    E/B
Several hours later I'm the only one awake
B                     C#m/B            Ebm/B     E/B       B  F#m7
All these streets are empty, it's just me and my mistake
D              Em7             D                  G/E
One by one the stars go out as black sky turns to gray
         Bmaj7       Dmaj7/B   E       C#m7b5
One more blue            sunny day      Sometimes I see how long


 Bmaj7
I can wait
Bm7                       E9
  Tempting disaster by my garden gate
C#m7b5                      Bmaj7
My trembling hand's on the cellar door
Bm7            E7       C#7            F#
 Trying not to think of what it is I'm waiting for


G       D         Em7     F#   B  C#m/B  Ebm/B

Bm F#m7

D                 A             Bm             F#
All at once I've had enough, As if I'm made of sterner stuff
  G                 D           A (Fig 1)
I take a breath and open up the door
D                    A                Bm              F#
Dawn breaks hard and falls on me, For just one moment I can see
    C#m7b5    F#     C#m7b5   F#
The pale blue sky, I close my eyes because


    B                     C#m/B       Ebm/B        E/B
The world's so bright and beautiful I have to look away
B                  C#m/B      Ebm/B          E/B    B  F#m7
Braced against the beauty of another perfect day
D          Em7            D               G/E
As I go to pieces and the breeze blows me away
         Bmaj7       Dmaj7/B   E       C#m7b5
One more blue            sunny day
