A      D       E           F#m
  Everything's working out fine
D                  E
You've got all the things 
             A/C#     E/Ab
you want and I've got mine
A    D     E            F#m
  No more struggle and strife
D                E
Kicking back and digging
       A/C#      E
it's a wonderful life
 
 
[Refrain 1]
    F#m       B        D
And then you awoke to start 
the day out laughing
It's some kind of a joke
 
 
[Chorus 1]
A
Everybody's waiting 
      E
for a day in the sun
F#m
Everybody's working 
        D
hard to have some fun
A
First you want a million 
       E
then a million and one
D
Everybody's waiting 
for a day in the sun
 
 
[Verse 2]
A      D
  City girls and

small town boys
D         E
Big time spenders

with expensive toys
A        D
  Pretty people who 
      E       F#m
don't look so good
D                E
Some are mopping floors 
             A/C#     E/Ab
and some are chopping wood
 
 
[Refrain 2]
         F#m          B
But they try and they try
D
Waiting for the clouds 
to disappear from the sky
 
 
(Repeat Chorus 1)
 
 
[Chorus 2]
A
Everybody's doing 
     E
everything they can
F#m
Some will count on luck 
              D
and some will make a plan
A
If you want to get 
          E
it got to get it done
D
Everybody's waiting 
for a day in the sun

  Mama said "Listen to me

I can't tell you what

  Every day there's

something new it's true

A light could shine on you"
