Sunny Skies
(James Taylor) 1969,1970

Sunny skies sleeps in the morning. [ Cmaj7 Dm7 G11 ]
He doesn't know when to rise [ Cmaj7 Dm7 ]
He closes his weary eyes upon the day [ Cmaj7 Dm7 G7 Cmaj7 ]
Look at him yawning, [ Cmaj7 Dm7 ]
throwing his morning hours away [ Cmaj7 Dm7 Cmaj7 ]
He knows how to ease down slow(ly) [ Cmaj7 Dm7 G9 Cmaj7 ]
Every thing is fine in the end [ Dm7 C ]
And you will be pleased to know [ Dm7 G9 Cmaj7 ]
that Sunny Skies hasn't a friend. [ Dm7/G ]

Sunny skies weeps in the ev'nin'. [ Cmaj7 Dm7 ]
It doesn't much matter why [ Cmaj7 Dm7 ]
I guess he just has to cry from time to time [ Cmaj7 Dm7 G7 Cmaj7 ]
Everyone's leavin' [ Cmaj7 Dm7 ]
and Sunny skies has to stay behind [ Cmaj7 Dm7 Cmaj7 ]
Still he knows how to ease down slow(ly) [ Cmaj7 Dm7 G9 Cmaj7 ]
Everything is fine in the end. [ Dm7 C ]
And you will be pleased to know [ C Dm7 G9 Cmaj7 ]
that Sunny Skies hasn't a friend. [ Dm7/G ]

Sunny skies sleeps in the morning. [ Cmaj7 Dm7 ]
He doesn't know when to rise [ Cmaj7 Dm7 ]
He closes his weary eyes upon the day [ Cmaj7 Dm7 G7 Cmaj7 ]
and throws it all away. [ Dm7 Cmaj7 F6 Cmaj7 ]
Looking at the snow and trees that [ F6 G9 Cmaj7 ]
grow outside my window [ F6, F6 Cmaj7 ]
Looking at the things that pass me by. [ F6 G9 Cmaj7 F6 Cmaj7 ]
Wondering if where I've been is [ F6 G9 Cmaj7 ]
worth the things I've been through [ F6 Cmaj7 F6 Cmaj7 ]
Ending with a friend named Sunny Skies. [ F6 G7 Cmaj7 ]
