Gordon Lightfoot - Always on the Bright Side
CAPO: 2nd Fret
         F C A Asus4ADm
[INTRO:]         
[VERSE 1:]
                                  Gm                 A
You are like a wish come true, I'm counting on you 
                                          C      Dm
Through two shipwrecked eyes I've come to see 
                            Gm                    A7
Everything I had to give has been given to you 
                 Dm                 C    Gm  C  F
Baby, that's the way it all  should be
[CHORUS:]
              C             F
Always on the bright side 
                 Am      F
Keeps it kind of light 
               Am               C    Gm  Dm  Bb  Dm
That girl gets friendlier  each day
[VERSE 2:]
                                 Gm                       A
Love alone will keep me breathing all through the night 
                                  C      Dm
In that quiet place where dreams abide 
                        Gm                   A7
You and I together are a bit of all right 
                    Dm         C    Gm  C  F
Feeling good is how we wish to be
[CHORUS:]
              C             F
Always on the bright side 
              Am      F
Always out of sight 
                 Am            C
Nesting like two eagles in the trees
                GmF#mDm C#7DmE F#m Dm C#7F#mA   C GmCF
