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]
Dm
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
