Amaj7                     E7sus4  D6/F#
Sunny skies sleeps in the morning.
Amaj7                   E7sus4  D6/F#
He doesn't know when to rise.
Amaj7               E7sus4    D6/F# Amaj7
He closes his weary eyes upon the   day.
Amaj7       E7sus4  D6/F#
Look at him yawning.
Amaj7        E7sus4  D6/F# Amaj7
Throwing his morning hours away.
[Chorus]

It doesn't much matter why
Amaj7                  E7sus4        D6/F# Amaj7
I guess he just has to cry from time to    time
Amaj7           E7sus4  D6/F#
Everyone's leaving
Amaj7        E7sus4      D6/F# Amaj7
 Sunny skies has to stay be----hind

And you will be pleased to know
     E7sus4
That sunny skies hasn't a friend
[Verse]
Amaj7                     E7sus4  D6/F#
Sunny skies sleeps in the morning
   Amaj7                E7sus4  D6/F#
He doesn't know when to rise

E7sus4                     Amaj7      E7sus4               Amaj7
   Looking at the snow and trees that grow outside my window
E7sus4                         Amaj7   E7sus4   Amaj7
    Looking at the things that pass me by

    Wondering if where I've been is worth the things I've been through
E7sus4                               Amaj7
    Ending with a friend named sunny skies
