If I had (Bb)the chance

to go back (Bb)a gain,

take a dif (Bb)f’rent road, bear a light (F)er load, tell an (A5)eas y sto ry,

I would walk (Bb)a way

with my yes (Bb)ter days,

and I would (Bb)not trade

what is bro (F)soul ken

cer for (A5)eas y sto ry, (A5)beau ty on ly.

But Ev ’ry

val ley, (Dm)ev ’ry bit ter (C)chill

and made me

to read y to (F)climb back up the (C)hill for ev ’ry

and find that

You are

sun rise,

(G)You are blue skies.

And how would (A)I know the (Bm)morn ing if I (G)knew not mid night?

You’re my

ho ri

(Bm7)zon,

You’re the (G)light of a new dawn.

So thank You, (G)thank You

that af ter the (G)long night,

You are sun rise.

You are sun rise.

And You a lone will (D)shine.

And You a lone can (F)res ur rect this (A)heart of mine.

You are

sun rise,

(G)You are blue skies.

And how would (A)I know the (Bm)morn ing if I (G)knew not mid night?

You’re my

ho ri

(Bm7)zon,

You’re the (G)light of a new dawn.

So thank You, (G)thank You

that af ter the (G)long night,

You are sun rise.
