[Verse 1]
            C                    
I choose my eyes wide open and my 
                        C
heart half-broken everytime
         F                         
over the gilded golden shackle and 
                           C
the reassuring sentimental lie.
              C                  
I've seen the rolling meadows and 
                              C
the cruelest ghettos in this town,
           F                       
I know the baker and the undertaker
 and the girl with the stars on her 
C
gown.

[Pre-Chorus]
        F                          
But the song that sounds the best 
            F                   
to me is the course of the maple 
    C         G
tree
     F                             
that river bends in through the 
       F                          
sea. It's course is fixed and so 
C      G
are we. It seems.

[Chorus]
             C  C      G  C     
But I've got sunshine, sunshine 
F   C    G      G
all over me,

and brown eyes, blue skies are 
   C G      G
all I see.

[Verse 2]
         C                
I do not care to offer any 
                   C
commentary on the world,
       F                           
I only sing for the pleasure and 
                        C
for a certain sentimental girl.
          C                        
I did not come to establish any new
 worlds up somewhere up in the 
Am
clouds,
               F               
I just want to make love in the 
morning, work 'til evening and then 
                  C
watch the sun go down.

[Pre-Chorus]
         F                         
Over the aimless and upward climb, 
    F                         C   
the hidden hand and searching 
      G
vine,
     F                             
this river bends into the sea. It's
 F                          C      
 course is fixed and so are we. It 
G
seems.

[Chorus]
             C  C      G  C     
But I've got sunshine, sunshine 
F   C    G      G
all over me,
    C     C     G    C         F
and brown eyes, blue skies are 
   C G      G
all I see.

[Bridge]
        F                 G
And the strangest food it grows from
 the ledge.
   F                       G      
My friends, my friends, go near to
             G
 the edge.

[Chorus]
             C  C      G  C     
But I've got sunshine, sunshine 
F   C    G      G
all over me,
    C     C     G    C         F
and brown eyes, blue skies are 
   C G      G
all I see.

[Chorus]
             C  C      G  C     
But I've got sunshine, sunshine 
F   C    G      G
all over me,

and brown eyes, blue skies are

all I see.

[Otro]
              C                  
Those who are mining for gold get 
prematurely old, trying not to 
 F
disappear.
        C
But I'm just a ditchdigger. When I'm
 gone, forget that I was here.
