And I'm going to sing a song called Sunrise.

On your [F] way up, you [E] might need [A] them.
On your way down,
[G] [Am] [A]
vintage wines [Ab] from [A] the year 60.
[Ab] [Am] It's your thing now, [A] it's your thing.
[G] [C] The [Dm] breeze is [Am] new, [G]

[G] I [Am] [A] don't mind, you turn it around.
[D] [C] I myself [Gb] would even like a [Am] little higher ground.
