A A7 D D7 A E A E7


[Verse 1]
A                 A7
I'm gonna write a happy song
D                     D7
So, when I'm down and all alone,
A                  E
I could sing it to myself
A                    E7
Until I'm up again.

[Verse 2]
A          A7
Under cold winter moons
D                  D7
I'll sing of sunny afternoons,
A                  E
Hum and whistle to myself
          A           A7
Until I'm up again.


[Chorus]
D   D  D     Dm      
But my heart plays, in minor,
D   D   D    Dm
One sad note after another,
       C         A
And it repeats itself
Dm             E
Until I'm down again.


[Verse 3]
A            A7
After a long somber night
D                       D7
I'll find my way to the morning light;
A                 E
Softly whisper to myself
          A         E7
Until I'm up again.

[Verse 4]
A                   A7
No, I won't let the thought of you
D                       D7
Sneak in to my mind and paint it blue.
A                            E
I'll have my song up on the shelf;
             A          A7
I'll pick it up again.


[Chorus]
D   D  D     Dm      
But my heart plays, in minor,
D   D   D    Dm
One sad note after another,
       C         A
And it repeats itself
Dm             E
Until I'm down again.


[Bridge]
A                A7
La la la...La La Laaaaa
   D            D7
La La, La La La La La La La
A         E                 A    E7
La La La. La La La La La La La
