     D5                    E5                      F#5                E5    D5
When I woke this morning, something inside of me, told me this would be my day
                           E5                      F#5                E5    D5
I heard the morning train, I felt the wind change, too many times I m on my way

A5       D5         G5            D5
Come on sunshine, what can you show me
G5             D5          E5           A5
Where can you take me to make me understand
    G5        D5         G5           D5
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
    G5        D5             G5               A5
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain

    D5                        E5                   F#5          E5     D5
And then I saw the sunrise, above the cotton sky, like a candy cane delight
                   E5                      F#5            E5      D5
I saw the milkman, I saw the business man, I saw the only road in sight
                        E5                         F#5         E5                D5
Then I got to thinking, what makes you want to go, to know the wherefore and the why
                   E5                        F#5       E5          D5
So many times now, oh lord I can t remember, if its September or July

D5 E5 A5 D5
                                E5                   F#5                E5     D5
Then all at once it came to me, I saw the wherefore, and you can see it if you try
                       E5                        F#5                         E5     D5
It s in the sun above, it?s in the one you love, you ll never know the reason why

A5       D5         G5            D5
Come on sunshine, what can you show me
G5             D5          E5           A5
Where can you take me to make me understand
    G5        D5         G5           D5
The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
    G5        D5             G5               A5
The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain

So much to lose, so much to gain
