Singing in the Rain – two chord version

Lyrics by Arthur Freed and music by Nacio Herb Brown. Published in 1929.

(With grateful thanks to Bruce Watson)

C

I’m singing in the rain

Just singing in the rain

What a glorious feelin’

G7

I’m happy again

I’m laughing at clouds

So dark up above

The sun’s in my heart

C

And I’m ready for love

Let the stormy clouds chase

Everyone from the place

Come on with the rain

G7

I’ve a smile on my face

I walk down the land

With a happy refrain

Just singin’

C

Just singin’ in the rain

(Repeat from the top).

Keep on the Sunny Side Carter Family

There’s a dark and a troubled side of life

There’s a bright there’s a sunny side too

Though we meet with the darkness and strife

The sunny side we also may view

Chorus:

Keep on the sunny side always on the sunny side

Keep on the sunny side of life

It will help us every day it will brighten all the way

If we keep on the sunny side of life

The storm and its fury broke to-day

Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear

Clouds and storms will in time pass a-way

The sun again will shine bright and clear

Chorus:

Let us greet with the song of hope each day

Though the moment be cloudy or fair

Let us trust in our Savior a-way

Who keepeth everyone in His care

Chorus:

C C7 F Dm

I could see that girl was no good for me

C G C E7

But I was lost like a slave that no one could free

Am E7

At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting

Am E7

I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door

She stood there laughing
