Verse 1:

     G7
On a Sunday morn
Sat a maid forlorn
         C
With her sweetheart by her side

          G7
Thro' the window pane
She looked at the rain,
         C
"We must stay home Joe," she cried

          G7
There's a picnic too
At the Old Point View
       C                  F  A7Dm
It's a shame it rained to-day

         F   D7   Cdim
Then the boy drew near,
         C   E7   A7
Kissed a-way each tear
        D7        Cdim    G7  BbdimG7
And she heard him soft-ly say,

Chorus:


C     C7        F          C
"Wait 'till the sun shines Nellie,
G7                 C       C7
When the clouds go drifting by
F          C     E7   C
We will be happy Nell-ie,
D7        G7
Don't you cry.

C    C7      F          C
Down lover's lane we'll wander
F           Dm      E7
Sweethearts you and I
A    A7        D7         Cdim
Wait 'till the sun shines Nell-ie,
C   G7  C
Bye and bye."

Verse 2:

       G7
"How I long," she sighed
"For a trolley ride
        C
Just to show my brand new gown"

         G7
Then she gazed on high
With a gladsome cry
        C
For the sun came shining down

        G7
And she looked so sweet
On the big front seat
       C        C7     F  A7Dm
As the car sped on its way

        F    D7    Cdim
And she whis-pered low,
             C   E7    A7
"Say, you're all right Joe,
         D7     Cdim     G7   BbdimG7
You just won my heart to day."
