I guess we've made history tonight.
We've not only brought together an all-star cast of bluegrass artists,
we have a stage full of high [B] tenors.
We're going to do this song in [G] G, gentlemen.
And we hope you've enjoyed our bluegrass spectacular.
It's some of our most favorite music in this part of the country.
And we're grateful to PBS for allowing us to share it with our neighbors all around the world.
If [Abm] you've enjoyed it, call your local PBS station and let them know.
[Ab] And now let's pull out all the stops, everybody out here.
[G]
[D] And I guess, I guess in the tradition of old-time country and bluegrass singing,
it would be polite to ask the audience to sing along if you care.
[G] Let's have some old-time gospel singing right here.

Keep on the sunny [C] side, always [G] on the sunny side.
Keep on the sunny [D] side of life.
[G] It's the help of every day, [C] it will guide us [G] all the way.
If you keep on the sunny side of life.
There's a dark [C] and troubled [G] side of life.
There's a bright and stony side [D] too.
Though we meet with the [G] darkness of the sky.
[D] The sun is not also [G] a lady.
Keep on the sunny [C] side, always [G] on the sunny side.
Keep on the sunny side [D] of [G] life.

A storm and its fury from today.
A crushing halt that would [D] carry so near.
A storm and a cloud, but it's time [G] to pray.
[D] A sun and a shine [G] bright and clear.
Keep on the sunny [C] side, [G] always on the sunny side.

Keep on the sunny [C] side, always [G] on the sunny side.
