MR. Blue Sky (J. Lynne)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
 F
Sun is shinin' in the sky,
               Em7  A7  Dm
There ain't a cloud in sight
               G
It's stopped rainin'
      Em          A7
Everybody's in a play
               Bb
And don't you know
 C                     F        C
It's a beautiful new day, hey hey
F
Runnin' down the avenue, (*Panting*)
              Em7  A7   Dm
See how the sun shines brightly
           G          Em
In the city on the streets
                A7
Where once was pity,
  Bb               C         F      C
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today.  Hey, Hey
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Dm        C                  Bb
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why,
            Am
You had to hide away
    Gm      F               Eb          Bb
For so long       where did we go wrong.
 
Dm        C                  Bb
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why,
            Am
You had to hide away
    Gm      F               Eb          Bb C
For so long       where did we go wrong.
