On the Sunny Side of the Street
Dorothy Fields and Jimmy McHugh, 1930


[D7↓]... Grab your [G] coat and get your [B7] hat,
leave your [C] worry on the [D7] door step,
[G] Just direct your [E7] feet,
to the [Am7] sunny [D7] side of the [G] street. [D7]

Can't you [G] hear the pitter [B7] pat?
And that [C] happy tune is [D7] your step
[G] Life can be so [E7] sweet
on the [Am7] sunny [D7] side of the [G] street

I used to [G7] walk in the shade.
With those [C] blues on parade.  
But [A7] I'm not afraid.
This [D7↓↓]  rover [Z↓↓]  crossed [D7↓↓] over.

If I [G] never have a [B7] cent,
I'll be [C] rich as Rocke- [D7] feller.
[G] Gold dust at my [E7] feet,
on the [Am7] sunny [D7] side of the [G]street.

I used to [G7] walk in the shade.
With those [C] blues on parade.
But [A7] I'm not afraid.
This [D7↓↓] rover [Z↓↓] crossed [D7↓↓] over.

If I [G] never have a [B7] cent,
I'll be [C] rich as Rocke- [D7] feller.
[G] Going to set my [E7] feet,
on the [Am7] sunny [D7] side of the [E7] street
...on the [Am7] sunny [D7] side of the [G↓↓] street [C↓↓] [G↓] [C↓] [G↓]
