Verse:

Walked with no - one, and talked with no - one, and I had noth - ing but shad- ows.

Then one morn - ing you passed, and I bright - ened at last.

Now I greet the day, and com - plete the day, with the sun in my heart.

All my wor - ry blew a - way when you taught me how to say:

Chorus:

Grab your coat and get your hat, leave your wor -ry on the door step,

Just di -rect your feet, to the Sun -ny Side of the Street.

Can't you hear the pit -ter pat? And that hap -py tune is your step

Life can be so sweet On The Sun -ny Side of The Street,

I used to walk in the shade. With those blues on par -ade.

But I'm not a -fraid. This Ro -ver crossed o -ver.

If I nev -er have a cent, I'll be rich as Rock -e -fel -ler.

Gold dust at my feet, On The Sun -ny Side of The Street.
