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

(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

So thank You, (G)thank You
