I went to see an old friend
Em7 A7sus4
Who was soon to pass away.
D G/B
He said, "My life has been so good to me.
Em7 A7sus4
Now I still got one more day."
G A7
Now he said that as he watched the morning sun
D D/C# D/B D/A
And then he smiled my way.
Em7 A7sus4
Because he said that every morning,
A7 D G/B D
He lived his life that way.
D G/B D G/B
He said, "I am the sunshine. You are the sunshine.
Em7 A7 G G/F# Em7
We are the sunshine. Help me understand.
A7sus4 A7 D G/B D Em7 A7
We are the sunshine on the land."
D G/B
He said this day is like a life you live,
Em7 A7sus4
It's never here to stay,
D G/B
Because your time is always runnin' by
Em7 A7sus4 A7
Like the sun across the day.
G A7
But it's like lookin' at the sunshine from the earth.
D D/C# D/B D/A
The light does come and go.
Em7 A7sus4 A7
But when you're lookin' at the earth shine from the sun,
G
It's quite a different show.
A7
He said it's time you know.
D G/B D G/B
"That I am the sunshine. You are the sunshine.
Em7 A7 G G/F# Em7
We are the sunshine. Help me understand.
A7sus4 A7 D G/B D Em7 A7
We are the sunshine on the land."
D G/B
Now I'm thinkin' of the things he said.
Em7 A7sus4 A7
We're walkin' toward the grave.
D G/B
And I haven't lived a life like his
Em7 A7sus4 A7
But I still got one more day.
G A7
Now you could say it's only flesh and bone
D D/C# D/B D/A
The life that's in your hands
Em7 A7sus4
But I like to think it's something more
A7 D G/B D
Like the sunshine on the land.
D G/B D G/B
I am the sunshine. You are the sunshine.
Em7 A7 G G/F# Em7
We are the sunshine. Help me understand.
A7sus4 A7 D G/B D Em7 A7
We are the sunshine on the land.
A7sus4 A7 D G/B D G/B D G/B
We are the sunshine on the land.
