G             D         Em          Bm  C
Where is the sun that shone on my head

The sun in my life, it is dead, it is dead
              D                Em          Bm   C
Where is the light that would stay in my street
                    G              D             G   D G
And where are the friends I could meet, I could meet

Where are the girls I left far behind
The spicks and the specks of the girls on my mind
Where is the sun that shone on my head
The sun in my life, it is dead, it is dead
