F                        Bb                     Csus4                          F  
When I woke this mornin' something inside of me ■     told me this would be my day
                          Bb                     C7                    F     
I heard the morning train I felt the wind change too many times I'm on my way
C         F        Bb           F      
■ Come on sunshine what can you show me
Bb            F          G       C         
Where can you take me to make me understand
Bb           F        Bb       F         
The wind can shake me brothers forsake me
Bb           F            Gm              Csus4
The rain can touch me but can I touch the rain 
C7  F                      Bb                   Csus4        F                
And then I saw the sunrise above the cotton sky ■     like a candycane delight
                  Bb        Gm7          C7        F                 
I saw the milkman I saw the business man I saw the only road in sight
                       Bb             Csus4      F                                
Then I got to thinkin' what makes you want to go to know the wherefore and the why


[Chorus]
                  Bb        Gm7            C7      F                
So many times now oh lord I can't remember if it's september or july
                         C7 F Bb F Bb F G C Bb F Bb    F Bb F Gm C7 F Bb C7 F    Bb       
Then all at once it came ■  ■ ■  ■ ■  ■ ■ ■ ■  ■ ■  to ■ ■  ■ ■  ■  ■ ■  ■  ■ me I saw the
          C                           F  
wherefore ■ and you can see it if you try


[Verse]
                Bb                             C                     F         
It's in the sun above it's in the one you love you'll never know the reason why


[Chorus]
C         F        Bb           F      
■ Come on sunshine what can you show me
Bb            F          G       C         
Where can you take me to make me understand
Bb           F     Bb          F         
The wind can shake me brothers forsake me
Bb           F            Gm              C7  
The rain can touch me but can I touch the rain
Csus4      C7   Csus4          
So much to lose so much to gain
