Intro:  D   G/B   Em7   A7sus4   D   G/B   Em7   A7sus4


  D                         G/B
I went to see an old friend

                Em7        A7sus4
Who was soon to pass away.

             D                        G/B
He said, "My life has been so good to me.

                Em7           A7sus4
Now I still got one more day."


        G                                  A7
Now he said that as he watched the morning sun

                      D  D/C#  D/B  D/A
And then he smiled my way.

           Em7                     A7sus4
Because he said that every morning,

              A7       D    G/B   D
He lived his life that way.


               D        G/B        D             G/B
     He said, "I am the sunshine.    You are the sunshine.

     Em7          A7         G       G/F#   Em7
       We are the sunshine.  Help me understand.

                A7sus4   A7     D   G/B   D   Em7   A7**
     We are the sunshine on the land."


             D                      G/B
He said this day is like a life you live,

                   Em7   A7sus4
It's never here to stay,
             D                      G/B
Because your time is always runnin' by

                        Em7  A7sus4  A7
Like the sun across the day.


              G                                A7
But it's like lookin' at the sunshine from the earth.

               D        D/C#  D/B  D/A
The light does come and go.

                Em7                  A7sus4         A7
But when you're lookin' at the earth shine from the sun,

                       G
It's quite a different show.

                      A7
He said it's time you know.


         D        G/B        D             G/B
    That I am the sunshine.    You are the sunshine.

     Em7          A7         G       G/F#   Em7
       We are the sunshine.  Help me understand.

                A7sus4   A7     D   G/B   D   Em7   A7**
     We are the sunshine on the land.


        D                              G/B
Now I'm thinkin' of the things he said.

                         Em7    A7sus4  A7
We're walkin' toward the grave.

      D                             G/B
And I haven't lived a life like his

                 Em7         A7sus4  A7
But I still got one more day.


    G                                 A7
Now you could say it's only flesh and bone

                        D  D/C#  D/B  D/A
The life that's in your hands

      Em7                          A7sus4
But I like to think it's something more

         A7              D    G/B  D
Like the sunshine on the land.


     D        G/B        D             G/B
     I am the sunshine.    You are the sunshine.

     Em7          A7         G       G/F#   Em7
       We are the sunshine.  Help me understand.

                A7sus4   A7     D   G/B   D
     We are the sunshine on the land."

                A7sus4   A7     D   G/B   D   G/B   D   G/B   D
     We are the sunshine on the land.
