Chord/Tab song: That Lucky Old Sun

Irvine, CA, June 29, 2000

[C] Up in the mornin',[Em] out on the job
[F] Work like the devil [G]for my [C]pay.
But that [F]lucky old sun has [C]nothin' to do[F]
But [C/G]roll around [G]heaven all d[C]ay.[Csus4]

Had a fuss with my woman, an' I toil for my kids,
An' I sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray,
While that lucky old sun got nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day.


[Am]Oh, Lord a[Em]bove, don't you [F]hear me [C]cryin'
[F]Tears are [G]rollin' down my [C]eyes.
[Am]Send in a [Em]cloud [F]with a silver [C]linin',
[D7]Take me to para[G]dise[(Gsus4].[G)]


Show me that river, Take me across,
wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun give me nothing to do
But roll around heaven all day.
