The Sound Of Sunshine Cifras

Sound Of Sunshine - Michael Franti
This song isn't out yet, but he's been playing it live and it will be the cover
track of his next album called "Sound of Sunshine."
He plays it with simple strumming and it goes to a simple rhythm, there is an
equal amount of time from each chord to the next, that is why there may be one Bb
followed by another.
As for the actual chords, some of them are barre chords, so I will tell you which
one is which.
Bb barre 6th; F barre 8th; Eb barre 6th; Cm barre 3rd; Gm barre 3rd; the F in the
Bridge is a regular F barred on the 1st fret.

I wake up in the morning at six o'clock

They say there may be rain, but the sun is hot

I wish I had some time just to kill today 
F
And I wish I had a dime for every bill I got to pay 
Eb
Some days you lose, you win
Cm
and the water's as high as the times you're in
Bb
So I jump back in where I learned to swim 
Gm
Try to keep my head above it the best I can 
Eb                    Cm                     Bb               Gm

lend?'
F                                              F

Yo, yo, here we go
 
Bb
I wanna go where the summer never ends
Bb
With my guitar on the beach there with all my friends
F
The sun so hot and the waves in motion
F
And everything smells like suntan lotion
Eb
The ocean, and the girls so sweet
Cm
So kick off your shoes and relax your feet
Bb
You say that miracles are never ceasin'
Gm
And every little song needs a little releasin'
Bb
The stereo bumpin' til the sun goes down
Bb
And I only wanna hear that sound
               Cm       Eb               Bb    Bb
And that's the sound of sunshine, coming down

And that's the sound of sunshine, coming down
               F         Eb              Bb
And that's the sound of sunshine, coming down
