I rode my bike a[A]long the tow-path
Past all the cranes that bow their [F#m]heads
Down by the river to the gas w[C#m]orks
Where I would meet up with my f[Em]riends
We'd mess around and play all s[A]ummer
Around our flats and on the streets[F#m]
In days that seemed to last fo[C#m]rever
And nights beneath my nylon she[D]ets
I was y[G]oung and[F] na[Bb]ive
and [Eb]drifted ar[D]ound
But I f[G]ollowed my d[F]rea[Bb]ms
With [Eb]music I fo[D]und life [Eb] [D]Sunny [Eb] [D]Sunny [Eb] [D]Sunny[C]
My growing up would not be [A]easy
Going for long walks on the [F#m]heath
Trying to play like Jimi [C#m]Hendrix
Behind my back and with my [Em]teeth
I went to festivals and d[A]ropped out
That's when I learned that I could [F#m]fly
Sitting around an open [C#m]fire
Watching the world go floating [D]by
With my e[G]ar to the [F]grou[Bb]nd
The f[Eb]uture took [D]ages
When it [G]finally [F]arriv[Bb]ed
The w[Eb]orld we cre[D]ated was [Eb] [D] Sunny [Eb] [D] Sunny [Eb] [D] Sunny[C]
Ab/c Bb/D
My mother watched me changing
From a [C/E]boy into a [E/F#]man
With s[Dm/F]pots and moods and [Ammaj7]temper tantrums,
[Am]short attention s[D#dim]pan
[G]It didn't seem to matter
It [Bb/D]made me who I am
[A] I got a job down at the wa[A]rehouse
I worked so hard to pay the [F#m]rent
Rehearsing almost every e[C#m]vening
Trying to take another s[Em]tep
Along the road that I had [A]chosen
The generations game of [F#m]life
Today I'm walking by the [C#m]river
Watching my children cycle [D]by
[G] We came [F]up through the [Bb]pubs
That [Eb]heaved with [D]our friends
[G] Now it's c[F]offee in [Bb]mugs
While o[Eb]ut on the T[D]hames it's[Eb] [D] Sunny [Eb] [D] Sunny [Eb] [D] Sunny
