Verse:

F           E
Walked with no one
    Dm          Cm6
And talked with no one
    Bbm6              G7  G9
And I had nothing but sha-dows

F        C7          F
Then one morning you passed
Am    G7            C7  CdimC7
And I brightened at last

F
Now I greet the day
C7
And comp-plete the day
Eb6                Bbm6
With the sun in my heart

F      F6    G9
All my worry blew a-way
F        F6        G7     C7
When you taught me how to say
CdimC7


Chorus:

          F                 A7
Grab your coat and get your hat
           Bb           C7   Dbdim
Leave your worry on the door-step
Dm7              G7
Just direct your feet
       Gm7   C7          F     GbdimGm7C7
To the sunny side of the street

C7        F            A7
Can't you hear a pitter pat?
         Bb            C7   Dbdim
And that happy tune is your step
Dm7            G7
Life can be so sweet
       Gm7   C7          F
On the sunny side of the street

F FM7     F7   Cm7    F7
I used to walk in the shade
           Bb    F7     Bb  BbAAb
With those blues on par-ade
    G   Dm6   G
But I'm not a-fraid
     Gm7           C7
This Rover crossed over

     F            A7
If I never have a cent
        Bb            C7    Dbdim
I'll be rich as Rocke-feller
Dm7             G7
Gold dust at my feet
       Gm7   C7          F
On the sunny side of the street

Repeat Chorus as shown:

F FM7     F7   Cm7    F7
I used to walk in the shade
           Bb    F7     Bb  BbAAb
With those blues on par-ade
   G    Dm6   G7
But I'm not a-fraid
     C7    Cdim    Gm7 C7
This Rover crossed over

     F            A7
If I never have a cent
        Bb            C7    Dbdim
I'll be rich as Rocke-feller
Dm7             G7
Gold dust at my feet
       Gm7   C7          F     DdimF6
On the sunny side of the street
