Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Baby, every [Em]cloud has a [G]silver lining
[D]Baby, every dog[Em] really has[G] its day[D]
And it matters [Em]to me
to [G]see you smiling
[D]Why don't we blo[Em]w all
your [G]cares [D]away?

[Verse 2]
[D]Yesterday's [Em]gone
and will [G]be forgotten
[D]And today is whe[Em]re every
[G]new day [D]starts
Got to be [Em]free like the [G]leaves in Autumn
[D]You may be sad[Em]
but it [G]never lasts
[D]

[Verse 3]
And [A]maybe, by the evening
we'll [D]be [G]lau[D]ghing
Just wait and see all the
changes there'll [A]be
By the [G]time it gets dark
[D]

[Verse 4]
[D]We could go out [Em]walking
out [G]in the [D]sunshine
Look at all the [Em]people out
[G]in the [D]street
Hurrying [Em]away to
their [G]business functions
[D]Waiting for a tax[Em]i for ach[G]ing fee[D]t

[Verse 5]
[D]Light up your [Em]face, baby
[G]Let's get [D]going
Wanna see a [Em]change in
those [G]weary eye[D]s
We'll have some [Em]fun
Take a [G]boat out [D]rowing
Why ever should [Em]life so [G]serious?
[D]

[Verse 6]
And [A]maybe, by the evening
we'll [D]be [G]lau[D]ghing
Just wait and see all the
changes there'll [A]be
By [G]the time it gets dark
[D]

[Verse 7]
And [A]maybe, by the evening
we'll [D]be [G]lau[A]ghing[D]
Just wait and see all
the changes there'll [A]be
[D]By [G]the time it gets [D]dark[Em]
By [G]the time it gets [D]dark[Em]
By [G]the time it gets [D]dark[Em]
By [G]the time it [D]gets darkâ?¦
