[Intro]

Bbm7 Db6 Am7 Abm7 B6 Abdim Db7

[Verse]

Db7 Abm9 Abm7 Abm9 Db7 Bm7 E9

When Sun ny gets blue, her eyes get gray and cloudy,

Gb6 Abm7 Bbm7 Bbdim Eb7#9

Then the rain begins to fall,

Ab9 Bm7 D6 Bm7

pitter-patter, pitter-patter,

Ebm7 Am6

Love is gone, so what can matter,

Abm7 B13 Eb13 Ebaug Db7

Ain't no lover man comes to call.

[Verse]

Db7 Abm9 Abm7 Abm9 Db7 Bm7 E9

When Sunny gets blue, she breathes a sigh of sadness,

Gb6 Abm7 Bbm7 Bbdim Eb7#9

Like the wind that stirs the trees,

Ab9 Bm7 D6 Bm7

Wind that sets the leaves to swaying

Ebm7 Am6

Like some violin is playing

Abm7 B13 Fm7 Bb7

weird and haunting melo dies.

[Bridge]

Ebmaj7/G Ab6 Bb6 C9 Gdim

People used to love to hear her laugh, watch her smile,

Ab6 Bb13 Bdim Ebmaj7/G

That's just how she got her name.

Gb6 Abaug Dbmaj7 Bbm7

Since that sad affair, she's lost her smile and changed her style,

Ebm7 Ab13 Adim Db9 Db13 Db9

Somehow, she's just not the same.

[Verse]

Db7 Abm9 Abm7 Abm9 Db7 Bm7 E9

But memories will fade, and pretty dreams will rise up

Gb6 Abm7 Bbm7 Bbdim Eb7#9

Where her other dreams fell through,

Ab9 Bm7 D6 Bm7

So hurry new love, hurry here,

Ebm7 Am6

to kiss away each lonely tear,

Abm7 B6 Db7#9 G9 Gb6 Am6

And hold her near when Sunny gets blue.

[Outro]

Abm7 B6 Db7#9 Dm6 Gb6add9

And hold her near when Sunny gets blue.
