then lat er a mov ie, too, and then (F)home.

Oh, (Bb)it’s

such a (Eb)per fect day;

Oh, such a (F)per fect day,

you just (Gm)keep me (F)hang ing (Eb)on,

Just a (Eb)per fect day,

drink prob lems all (Db)left a lone,

You’re going to (Ab)reap just what you (Eb)sow.

You’re going to (Ab)reap just what you (Eb)sow.
