On The Sunny Side Of The Street
Words & Music by Dorothy Fields & Jimmy McHugh, 1929
Recorded by Jo Stafford, 1945 (#17)
G7 C C/B Bm7-5 E7
Grab your coat and get your hat,
F Bm7-5 Bb9
Leave your worries on the door - step;
Am Am+7 D9 D7
Just direct your feet
F G7 C
To the sunny side of the street.
G7 C C/B Bm7-5 E7
Can't you hear the pitter-pat?
F Bm7-5 Bb9
And that happy tune is your step!
Am Am+7 D9 D7
Life can be complete
Dm7 G7 C
On the sunny side of the street.
Bridge:
CM7 C7 Gm7 C7 Gm7 F
I used to walk in the shade with those blues on parade;
D9 Am7 D7 G7 G9
But I'm not afraid -- this rover crossed over!
G7 C C/B Bm7-5 E7
If I never had a cent,
F Bm7-5 Bb9
I'd be rich as Rock - e - fel - ler,
Am Am+7 D9 D7
Gold dust at my feet
Dm7 G7 C
On the sunny side of the street.
