VERSE:
Notes:
For the last verse line, you might want to play the A as x02220 to enable
easy toggling to Asus2 (x02200). Just a suggestion...
Chords:
D x57775 Bm x24432 Asus2 x02200
F#m 244222 F#7 242322
G 355433 D/A x07775
A 577655 E 022100
D F#m G A D
Here's wishing you the bluest sky, and hoping something better comes tomorrow
F#m G A
Hoping all the verses rhyme, and the very best of choruses to
Bm F#7
Follow all the doubt and sadness
D/A E A Asus2 A G
I know that better things are on their way
VERSE:
Notes:
G* - The CHORUS starts immediately on this G.
Chords:
D xx0232 Bm x24432 Asus2 x02200
F#m 244222 F#7 242322
G 355433 D/A x00232
A x02220 E 022100
D F#m G A D
Here's hoping all the days ahead, won't be as bitter as the ones behind you
F#m G A
Be an optimist instead, and somehow happiness will find you
Bm F#7
Forget what happened yesterday
D/A E A Asus2 A G*
I know that better things are on the way
CHORUS:
Notes:
The fills overlay the rhythm guitar so, in the figure below, the "(2)"
corresponds to the F#m chord that the rhythm guitar would play.
Fills 1 and 2 are essentially the same but played on different beats.
