But darlin’ [G7]don’t [Am]cling to me, [D7]
I’ll [Am]soon be out of [G]sight.

We’ll [G7]sing in the [C]sunshine,
And [Am]I’ll be [D7]on my [G]way. [G] [Am] [D7]


[G]My daddy he once [Am]told me, [D7]
“Hey, [Am]don’t you love you any [G]man.
Just take what [G7]they may [Am]give you, [D7]
And [Am]give but what you [G]can.”


[G]And you can sing in the [C]sunshine,
[Am]You’ll [D7]laugh every [G]day,
You’ll [G7]sing in the [C]sunshine,
And [Am]then be [D7]on your [G]way. [G] [Am] [D7]


[G]And when our year has [Am]ended, [D7]
And [Am]I have gone a[G]way,
You’ll often [G7]think a[Am]bout me, [D7]
And [Am]this is what you’ll [G]say:


[G]We sang in the [C]sunshine,
[Am]You know we [D7]laughed every [G]day,
We [G7]sang in the [C]sunshine,
And [Am]then went [D7]on our [G]way. [G] [Am] [G]
