              A
A very good friend of mine
                      E
Told me something the other day
            F#m
I'd like to pass it on to you

He said, "We're here for a good time
       E
Not a long time (Not a long time)
   F#m
So have a good time
     D                         A
The sun can't shine every day"

                D      Bm             A
And the sun is shining in this rainy city
                D       Bm               A
And the sun is shining, ooo, isn't it a pity
      Bm
That every year has its share of tears
 E             D              C#m
Every now and then it's gotta rain
