I found other versions to be quite over complicated so, although this may not
be exactly how the original is played, I made this so novices can have a jam happy playing y'all :)
(not same key as original but if you listen to the
Intro: C G F C G intro you should get an idea of timing - I've
C G F C tried to space the chords to match the song)
[C] Ooh-[G]oo child, [C]Things are gonna get [G]easier
[C] Ooh-[G]oo child, Things'll get [Am]brighter
[C] Ooh-[G]oo child, [C]Things are gonna get [G]easier
[C] Ooh-[G]oo child, Things'll get [Am]brighter
[D] Some [A]day, yeah We'll [D]get it together and we'll [A]get it all done
[D] Some [A]day, When your head is much [G]lighter
[D] Some [A]day, yeah We'll [D]walk in the rays of a [A]beautiful sun
[D] Some [A]day, When the world is much [G]brighter
[C] Ooh-[G]oo child, [C]Things are gonna be e[G]asier
[C] Ooh-[G]oo child, Things'll be b[Am]righter
[C] Ooh-[G]oo child, [C]Things are gonna be e[G]asier
[C] Ooh-[G]oo child, Things'll be b[Am]righter

[D] Some [A]day, yeah We'll [D]get it together and we'll [A]get it all done
[D] Some [A]day, When your head is much [G]lighter
[D] Some [A]day, yeah We'll [D]walk in the rays of a [A]beautiful sun
[D] Some [A]day, When the world is much [G]brighter
(Hit first two chords same as intro - then change pattern for La's)
[C] [G] [C]Lalala laaaa la [G]lalala laaaa
[C] [G] La lalalala [Am]lala la [G]laaaa
[C] [G] [C]Lalala laaaa la [G]lalala laaaa
[C] [G] La lalalala [Am]lala la [G]laaaa
[D] Some [A]day, someday some... [D]We'll get it together and [A]we'll get it all done
[D] Some [A]day, When your head is much [G]lighter
[D] Some [A]day, someday some... [D]walk in the rays of a [A]beautiful sun
[D] Some [A]day, When the world is much [G]brighter
[C] Ooh-[G]oo child, [C]Things are gonna be e[G]asier
[C] Ooh-[G]oo child, Things'll be b[Am]righter
[C] Ooh-[G]oo child, [C]Things are gonna be e[G]asier
[C] Ooh-[G]oo child, Things'll be b[Am]righter
Right [G]now [Am]right [G]now
Right [G]now [Am]right [G]now
And you just wait and see things are gonna [Am]be
[G]And you just wait and see things are gonna [Am]be
G Am G (kinda just made my own ending because
Right now........ song fades out)
Peace
