                               G    G7
Whenever the sunshine comes through,
                             Em7 D#m7 Dm7
Whenever my thoughts turn to you,
              G          C C#7 D7  G
Whatever you want me to do;     I will be there.

Whether I crawl uphill
Try to not be through the mill
Just as long as I fit the bill
I will be there

D7                C#7   C7                     C#7
If it's on a lazy after-noon, in the summertime,
D7                   D#7  C7            D#7
And you're drinking cham-pagne and wine;
D7
Anytime, I don't mind.

Even if I've got the blues
And after I pay all my dues
You decide to go for a cruise
I will be there

And if it's on a lazy afternoon in summertime
And you're drinking champaigne and wine
Anytime, I don't mind
And even if I've got the blues

I'm tired of paying oh so many dues
And you decide to go for a cruise
Going to grab my razor and my suitcase
and my toothbrush and my overcoat and my underwear
I will be there
