            C
Was a sunny day
                  G
Not a cloud was in the sky
                D7
Not a negative word was heard
                   Em
>From the people passing by----
      G     C
Was a sunny day
                  G
All the birdies in the trees
                   D7
And the radio's singing song
                     G
All the favorite melodies.


           Am       D        
He was a navy man
                G      E
Stationed in Newport News
              Am
She was a high school queen
        D             C            G
With nothing really left to lose
E             Am
She was a high school queen
        D             C            G
With nothing really left to lose

CHORUS
               Am     D
Her name was Lorelei
             G       E
She was his only girl
                 Am
She called him Speedoo
            D
But his Christian name
      C         G
Was Mister Earl
E                Am
She called him Speedoo
            D
But his Christian name
      C         G
Was Mister Earl

CHORUS
            C9
Was a sunny day
                  G9
Not a cloud was in the sky
                D9
Not a negative word was heard
                        G
>From the people passing by.

  C                                   G
