Blue skies over my head

| G       -     am7 |     | C    -   D7 |   
Give me another reason to get out of bed

    | G - am7 | C    -     D7 |
And blue skies shine on my face

| em   -  em/D - em/C - em/H | am7 - D7 - Gsus4 | Gsus4 - G |
Give me another  woman  to     take  her  place

(same as above:)

Ain't got no money, cubards are bare
No cigarettes and the kids got nothing to wear
She walked out without a word

      | em - em/D - em/C -  em/H | am7  -  D7 |
Now the only sound  left is the    morning bird singing

Blue skies over my head
Give me another reason to get out of bed
And blue skies shine on my face
Give me another woman to take her place

Blue skies over my head
Give me another reason to get out of bed
And blue skies shine on my face
Give me another woman to take her place
Give me another woman to take her place

Lyrics

Blue skies over my head
Give me another reason to get out of bed
And blue skies shine on my face
Give me another woman to take her place

Ain't got no money, cupboards are bare
No cigarettes and the kids got nothing to wear
She walked out without a word
Now the only sound left is the morning bird
singing ...

Blue skies over my head
Give me another reason to get out of bed
And blue skies shine on my face
Give me another woman to take her place

Blue skies over my head
Give me another reason to get out of bed
And blue skies shine on my face
Give me another woman to take her place
Give me another woman to take her place
