Intro: A F#7 D7M E7 A F#7 D7M E7 
 
A                    F#7       D7M              E7 
Gray skies are gonna clear up, put on a happy face 
A                        F#7     Bm7             Fdim 
Wipe off the clouds and cheer up, put on a happy face 
C#7                  F#7           Bm5-/7     E7        A     A7  
Take off that gloomy mask of tragedy  it's not your style 
      C#7                F#7               D     Fdim      E7 
You'd look so good that you'd be glad that you decided to smile 
A                   F#7       D9                  E7 
Pick out a pleasant outlook, stick out that nobel chin 
A                      F#7        Bm7             Fdim 
Wipe off that full-of-doubt look, slap on a happy grin 
D      Cdim  A           E7       F#7          
Spread      sunshine all over the place 
          D       E7     C#7       F#7 
And just put on a happy, put on a happy 
D        E7   Fdim   A 
Put on a happy   face
