Don’t let the (Fmaj7)sun

Your heart may be (E7)bro ken to night,
but to mor row in the (E7)morn ing light
don’t let the (G7)sun
catch you (Cmaj7)cry ing.
The night time (Fmaj7)shad ows
dis ap (Cmaj7)pe ar
and with them (Fmaj7)go
all your (G)tears.
(G7)er.
But For the (Am)morn ing will bring (E7)joy

(Em)So
don’t let the (G7)sun
catch you (Cmaj7)cry ing.
We know that cry ing’s
not a (Am)bad
thing
but stop your cry ing
when the (G7)birds
sing.
Don’t let the (Cmaj7)sun catch you cry ing oh (Fmaj7)no,
oh oh (Cmaj7)oh.
