Keep on the sunny side      (Listen to original song)

 

                      A                D                     A

1. There's a dark and a troubled side of life,

                                                           E

    there's a bright and a sunny side, too.

                                                  E7                     A

    Though we meet with the darkness and strife,

            E                   E7              A

    the sunny side we also may view.

 

   A                                   D                     A

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side,

                                          E

keep on the sunny side of life !

           A                                    D                       A

It will help us every day, it will brighten all our way,

                              E                  A

if we keep on the sunny side of life.

 

                   A                  D                  A

2. Oh, the storm and its fury break today,

                                                              E

    crushing hopes that we cherish so dear.

                                                                E7                 A

    The clouds and storm will in time pass away,

            E                    E7                       A

    the sun again will shine bright and clear.       + CHORUS

 

                   A               D                            A

3. Let us greet with a song of hope each day,

                                                          E

    though the moment be cloudy or fair,

                                   E7          A

    let us trust in our Savior always,

           E                   E7             A

    to keep us every one in His care.        + CHORUS
