[Verse]

D          C          A G A   C  D
Singing in the sunshine,  laughing in the rain
D            C           A G A C D
  Hitting on the moonshine,    rocking in the grain
D             C              A G A C  D
  Ain't no time to pack my bag,    my foots outside the door
D             C             A  G       A    C     D
  Got a date, I can't be late, for the high hopes hailla ball.

[Verse]

D          C       A G     A    C  D
Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
D                C         A G A    C      D
  Play for free, play for me    and play a whole lot more, more!
D               C         A G       A   C  D
  Singing about good things and the sun that lights the day
D                C               A G       A C  D
  I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost it's way.

D            C           A  G        A     C     D
Sitting round singing songs 'til the night turns into day
D              C               A  G       A   C   D
  Used to sing on the mountains   but the mountains washed away
D            C            A    G      A    C D
  Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
D          C               A      G      A    C  D
  She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start.
