F            E7                           D#7
Lazy old sun, what have you done to summertime?
Hiding away
D7                             C#7
Behind all those misty thunder clouds,
                  C7
I don't mind, To spend my time
F               E7                       D#7
Looking for you, for you are my one reality,
when I'm dead and gone
Gm                D
Your light will shine eternally,
 A/C#         C
sunny rain, shine my way
 B                                                Em
Kiss me with one ray of light from your lazy old sun

D7
You make the rainbows and you make
                G
the night disappear
D7                                          G  F#7
You melt the frost so I won't criticize my sun

When I was young
My world was three foot, seven inch tall
When you were young
There was no world at all

Sunny rain, shine my way
Kiss me with one ray of light from your lazy old sun

Lazy old sun
Lazy old sun
Lazy old sun
