_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
The [Fm] beggar man and the mighty king are [Bb] only different [C] in _ name, [Ab] for they are [C] [Fm] treated just
[Em] the [C] same by _
[Bbm] faith.
_ [C] _ _ [Fm] Today a smile and tomorrow a [Bb] tear [F] will never [Bbm] show what's in [Eb] store, [Ab] so [E] learn your [Fm] lesson
before it is too [C] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Eb] _
late.
[C] _ _ [F] So be _ [Gm] like [C] I, [F] hold your [C] head [Gm] up [C] high, [F] till you find [Gm] the bluebird [F] of happiness.
_ _ You [Am] _
_ [E] will find [Am] _ greater peace [Dm] of [E] mind, [Am] knowing [G] there's a _ bluebird _ _ [C] of happiness.
_ [Ab] _ [C] _ And when [F] he _ _ [A] sings to you, [Bb] though you're [D] deep in [E] [Fm] blue, [Gm] you will see [Am] a ray of [F] light creep [C] through.
And so [F] remember _ _ [Gm] this, [C] _ life is no [Gm] abyss, [F] _
[Eb] somewhere [D] there's [Gm] a _ [C] _
bluebird _ _ _ of [F] happiness.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Fm] _ The poet with his pen, _
[Bbm] the peasant with his plow, _ [Fm] it makes no difference who you are,
it's all [C] the same somehow.
_ The king [Bbm] upon his throne, the jester at his feet, the shop girl, the actress, the man
on the street.
[Eb] _ It's a life of [Ab] smiles and a [Cm] life [D] of [C] fear.
It's [F] a life of hopes _ [Ebm] and a [Bbm] life of fear.
[Ebm] A blinding [F] torrent of rain [Bbm] and a brilliant burst of sun.
A biting, tearing [C] pain and bubbling, [Db] sparkling fun.
And no [Bbm] matter what you have, [Fm] don't envy those who meet, it's [Bbm] all the same.
It's in the [C] game, the bitter and the sweet.
[F]
And things don't look [C] so cheerful. _
Just [F] show a little fight.
For every bit of darkness, [Gm] there's a little [C] bit of light.
[F] For every bit of hatred, there's a little [Gm] bit of love.
_ For every cloudy morning, [F] there's a [G] midnight [Cm] moon [C] _
[F] above.
_ [Dm] _ _ [E] _ [F] _ _
[Gm] _ _ [F] _ So _ don't you _ _ [C] _ forget, _ you [F] _ must search till you _
_ [Abm] [Gm] find a _ _ _ [C] _
[Fm] bluebird.
[F] You will find peace [Db] and [Bb] _ contentment [D] _ [Gm] forever.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C]
If [E] _ [F] you're weary _ like [A]
I, _ [Bb] hold your [D] head up high.
_ [Gm] Till you see [C] a ray [F] of light [D] _ [C] and cheer.
And so _
[F] _ _ [Gm] remember [C] this, _ [F]
life is [Gm] no [C] abyss.
_ [F] Somewhere [Gm] there's a _ [C] _ bluebird _ _ _ up _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [F] in the [Abm] [Bm] sky.
