When I woke this morning, [C#] [C#m] something inside of [B] me told me this would be my day.
I heard the morning [C#m] train, I felt the wind [B] change too many times along my way.
Then I saw the [C#m] sunrise above the cotton sky [B] like a candy cane's light.
I saw the [C#m] milkman, I saw the businessman, [B] I saw the only road in sight.
[A] [F#] Come [B] on sunshine, [E]
what [B] can you show me?
What can you take [C#] me to make me [F#] understand?
[E] The [B] wind can't shake [E] me, brothers [B] forsake me, the rain can't touch me, but [E] can I [F#] touch the rain?

Then I got to thinking, [C#m] what makes you want to [B] go to know the river and the wild?
So many times [C#m] now, oh lord I can't [B] remember if it's September or July.
[F#] Come [B] on sunshine, [E] [B] what can you show me?
What can you take [C#] me to make me [F#] understand?
[E] The [B] wind can't shake [E] me, [B] brothers forsake [E] me, the [B] rain can't touch me, but can I [F#] touch the rain?

[B] Then at once it came to [C#m] me, I saw the [B] wherefore, and you can see it if you try.
It's in the sun above, [C#m] it's in the ones you [B] love, you'll never know the reason why.
[G#m] [F#] Come [B] on sunshine, [E] what [B] can you show [E] me?
What [B] can you take [C#] me to make me [F#] understand?

[B] So [F#] much to learn, so much to gain.
