G7 C9 F Look a little on the sunny side, G7 C9 F Even when they say you're on the slide, C9 F6 And for a while they'll say your records never make it, C9 F6 But in a while they're gonna be showering you with praises. F E+ They'll give you mediocre reviews and Cm/D# D7 put you in the underground for a while, G7 C9 But look a little on the funny, F G7 C9 F sunny side of life, look a little on the sunny side. F6 C9 You sing 'em the blues and then they ask for a happy tune, F6 And when you start to smile they'll say gimme dat rhythm and blues, And when you give 'em dat rhythm and blues A they'll simply smile and say E A We didn't want to hear you play, we didn't like C7 you any way.
