Am        E7          Am7      D7 
Blue skies smiling at me 
            C         F  G     C  E7  
Nothing but blue skies, all I see

Noticing the days hurrying bad

     Am      E7            Am7  D7 
But blue days, all of them gone

Nothing but blue skies, from now

Nothing but blue skies, from now
