INTRO:
E5 E5 Eaddd9/A5 E5

E5       E5    E5  E5
Baby, every cloud has a silver lining
           E5   E5  E5
Baby every dog really has his  day
               E5   E5   E5
And it matters to me to   see you   smiling
             E5      E5    E5
Why don't we blow all your cares away?


             E5      E5     E5
Yesterday is gone and will be       forgotten
             E5    E5   E5
And today is where every new day   starts
          E5      E5   E5
Got to be free like the leaves in autumn
           E5   E5  E5
You may be sad but it never    lasts.

E5

CHORUS:
    C#5    B5                          A5            E5
And maybe,    by the evening we'll be laughing
              C#5
Just wait and see
                         B5
All the changes there'll be
       A5            E5          E5
By the time it gets dark.


E5       E5    E5      E5
We could go walking out in the    sunshine
                E5   E5   E5
Look at all the people out in the    street
         E5    E5  E5
Hurrying away to a   business luncheon
              E5   E5  E5
Waiting for a taxi for   aching   feet.


              E5    E5   E5
Light up your face, baby, let's get going
              E5        E5   E5
Want to see a change in those weary     eyes
                E5    E5  E5
We'll have some fun, take a boat out rowing
                    E5   E5    E5
Why on earth should life be so serious?

E5

[CHORUS] x2

E5   E5      E5
  By the   time it gets dark.
E5   E5      E5
  By the   time it gets dark.
E5   E5      E5
  By the   time it gets dark.
