INTRO:
E9 E9/F# Eaddd9/A E9

E9       E9/F#    E9/A  E9
Baby, every cloud has a silver lining
           E9/F#   E9/A  E9
Baby every dog really has his  day
               E9/F#   E9/A   E9
And it matters to me to   see you   smiling
             E9/F#      E9/A    E9
Why don't we blow all your cares away?


             E9/F#      E9/A     E9
Yesterday is gone and will be       forgotten
             E9/F#    E9/A   E9
And today is where every new day   starts
          E9/F#      E9/A   E9
Got to be free like the leaves in autumn
           E9/F#   E9/A  E9
You may be sad but it never    lasts.

E9

CHORUS:
    C#m    B                          A            E
And maybe,    by the evening we'll be laughing
              C#m
Just wait and see
                         B
All the changes there'll be
       A            E          E9
By the time it gets dark.


E9       E9/F#    E9/A      E9
We could go walking out in the    sunshine
                E9/F#   E9/A   E9
Look at all the people out in the    street
         E9/F#    E9/A  E9
Hurrying away to a   business luncheon
              E9/F#   E9/A  E9
Waiting for a taxi for   aching   feet.


              E9/F#    E9/A   E9
Light up your face, baby, let's get going
              E9/F#        E9/A   E9
Want to see a change in those weary     eyes
                E9/F#    E9/A  E9
We'll have some fun, take a boat out rowing
                    E9/F#   E9/A    E9
Why on earth should life be so serious?

E9

[CHORUS] x2

E9/F#   E9/A      E9
  By the   time it gets dark.
E9/F#   E9/A      E9
  By the   time it gets dark.
E9/F#   E9/A      E9
  By the   time it gets dark.
