Blue Sunny Day by Jonathan Coulton
(This way is faster to learn, and just as fun to sing along to!)
Capo on 2nd fret
[Verse 1]
CEarly light that Gburns my eyes, a Amminute more the Esun will rise
And Dm7paint the bright blue Csky with yelloGw gold
CI'll be dead aGsleep by then, Amshut up in this Ebox again
UnDmtil it's Egone, Dmoutside EI can hear it
ABirds are singing, Bmbees are buzzing, Amaj7sun shines overDhead
AI'd be there to Bmsee it but I Amaj7can't get out of Dbed
CSince the day you Dmleft the weather Calways feels this Dm7way
[Chorus]
One more Amaj7blue..Cmaj7.......sunny Dday, sunny Dmday
[Verse 2]
CLooking for an Geasy mark, I Amhit the Denny's Eafter dark
And Dm7take a lonely Cwaitress home to Gdrink
CShe's sincere, but Ghalfway through, I Amfind I'm wishing Eshe was you
My Dmblood goes cEold, I Dmguess this Edate is over
ASeveral hours Bmlater I'm the Amaj7only one awaDke
AAll these streets are Bmempty, it's just Amaj7me and my misDtake
COne by one the Dmstars go out as Cblack sky turns to Dm7gray
[Chorus]
One more Amaj7blue..Cmaj7.......sunny Dday, sunny Dmday  
[Bridge]
DmSometimes I see how long
Amaj7I can wait
Am7Tempting disaster by my D7garden gate
DmMy trembling hand on the Amaj7cellar door
Am7Trying not to D7think of B7what it is I'm Ewaiting Dm7for
[Verse 3]
CAll at once I've Ghad enough, as Amif I'm made of Esterner stuff
I Dm7take a breath and Copen up the Gdoor
CDawn breaks hard and Gfalls on me, for Amjust one moment EI can see
The Dmpale blue Esky, I Dmclose my Eeyes because
The Aworld's so bright and Bmbeautiful I Amaj7have to look awDay
ABraced against the Bmbeauty of Amaj7another perfect Dday
CAs I go to Dmpieces and the Cbreeze blows me Dm7away
[Chorus]
One more Amaj7blue..Cmaj7.......sunny Dday, sunny Dmday

Blue Sunny Day by Jonathan Coulton

(This way is faster to learn, and just as fun to sing along to!)

Capo on 2nd fret

[Verse 1]

C G Am E

Early light that burns my eyes, a minute more the sun will rise

Dm7 C G

And paint the bright blue sky with yellow gold

C G Am E

I'll be dead asleep by then, shut up in this box again

Dm E Dm E

Until it's gone, outside I can hear it

A Bm Amaj7 D

Birds are singing, bees are buzzing, sun shines overhead

A Bm Amaj7 D

I'd be there to see it but I can't get out of bed

C Dm C Dm7

Since the day you left the weather always feels this way

[Chorus]

Amaj7 Cmaj7 D Dm

One more blue.........sunny day, sunny day

[Verse 2]

C G Am E

Looking for an easy mark, I hit the Denny's after dark

Dm7 C G

And take a lonely waitress home to drink

C G Am E

She's sincere, but halfway through, I find I'm wishing she was you

Dm E Dm E

My blood goes cold, I guess this date is over

A Bm Amaj7 D

Several hours later I'm the only one awake

A Bm Amaj7 D

All these streets are empty, it's just me and my mistake

C Dm C Dm7

One by one the stars go out as black sky turns to gray

[Chorus]

Amaj7 Cmaj7 D Dm

One more blue.........sunny day, sunny day

[Bridge]

Sometimes I see how long

Amaj7

I can wait

Am7 D7

Tempting disaster by my garden gate

Dm Amaj7

My trembling hand on the cellar door

Am7 D7 B7 E Dm7

Trying not to think of what it is I'm waiting for

[Verse 3]

C G Am E

All at once I've had enough, as if I'm made of sterner stuff

Dm7 C G

I take a breath and open up the door

C G Am E

Dawn breaks hard and falls on me, for just one moment I can see

Dm E Dm E

The pale blue sky, I close my eyes because

A Bm Amaj7 D

The world's so bright and beautiful I have to look away

A Bm Amaj7 D

Braced against the beauty of another perfect day

C Dm C Dm7

As I go to pieces and the breeze blows me away

[Chorus]

Amaj7 Cmaj7 D Dm

One more blue.........sunny day, sunny day
