Sunshine

G F Down below on the valley floor where the
G F trees grow tall and the creek runs cold
G F

G C F

G F from the melting ice from the winter’s snow
G F from the warming sun where this song was sown.
G F

G C F

G F One by one a familiar sound
G F gives voice to a song that rings around.
G F

G C F

chorus:
{G F } x3  Sunshine pouring down on you and
G C F me.
{G F } x3  Sunshine pouring down on you and
G C F me.

G F From the croaking toad in the pool of mud where the
G F sun helps warm his too cool blood.
G F

G C F

G F To the bird in a branch in an ancient tree where the
G F sun helps keep its needles green.
G F

G C F

G F As she chirps out her tune there’s a rhythm heard from the
G F marching beat of a caribu herd.
G F

G C F

{chorus}

G F Then an orchid bares its tender treat to a
G F buzzing bee who is feeling sweet.
G F

G C F

G F There’s a grizzly bear with two cute cubs
G F barking commands at a beetle grub.
G F

G C F

G F And a trout in the creek jumps high in the air
G F the splash from her crash is the sound she shares.
G F

G C F

{chorus}

G F A cougar crawls out from his cave and
G F roars a call that wakes his mate.
G F

G C F

G F While an eagle soars high in the sky
G F echoing a lone wolf’s cry.
G F

G C F

G F The forest sounds build through the spring. If you
G F listen close you’ll hear them sing
G F

G C F

{chorus}

See the little fishies swimmin’ down the stream.

Workin’ so hard to make it to the sea.

But in the Snake river what do they see?

Nine damn dams make them history.

They’re never gonna make it on their own.

So we spend a ton of money on barges to help them do

what they should be doing naturally. It makes no sense!
