Intro RE SOL/SI MIm7 LA7sus4 RE SOL/SI MIm7 LA7sus4
RE SOL/SI
I went to see an old friend
MIm7 LA7sus4
Who was soon to pass away.
RE SOL/SI
He said, "My life has been so good to me.
MIm7 LA7sus4
Now I still got one more day."
SOL LA7
Now he said that as he watched the morning sun
RE RE/DO# RE/SI RE/LA
And then he smiled my way.
MIm7 LA7sus4
Because he said that every morning,
LA7 RE SOL/SI RE
He lived his life that way.
RE SOL/SI RE SOL/SI
He said, "I am the sunshine. You are the sunshine.
MIm7 LA7 SOL SOL/FA# MIm7
We are the sunshine. Help me understand.
LA7sus4 LA7 RE SOL/SI RE MIm7 LA7
We are the sunshine on the land."
RE SOL/SI
He said this day is like a life you live,
MIm7 LA7sus4
It's never here to stay,
RE SOL/SI
Because your time is always runnin' by
MIm7 LA7sus4 LA7
Like the sun across the day.
SOL LA7
But it's like lookin' at the sunshine from the earth.
RE RE/DO# RE/SI RE/LA
The light does come and go.
MIm7 LA7sus4 LA7
But when you're lookin' at the earth shine from the sun,
SOL
It's quite a different show.

RE SOL/SI
Now I'm thinkin' of the things he said.
MIm7 LA7sus4 LA7
We're walkin' toward the grave.
RE SOL/SI
And I haven't lived a life like his
MIm7 LA7sus4 LA7
But I still got one more day.
SOL LA7
Now you could say it's only flesh and bone
RE RE/DO# RE/SI RE/LA
The life that's in your hands
MIm7 LA7sus4
But I like to think it's something more
LA7 RE SOL/SI RE
Like the sunshine on the land.
RE SOL/SI RE SOL/SI
I am the sunshine. You are the sunshine.
