Cmaj9              Fmaj9 Cmaj9                    A   A7
I've seen brighter,      I've known brighter days
Dm7                Dm7-5
lying alone in the shade of a manzanita;
Cmaj9             Fmaj9 Cmaj9                A    A7
it's been sweeter,      bitter sweeter days.
  Dm7                           Dm7-5
I know it's not for always, but all i can say is
Cmaj9                        E7
I've known better days.
    A7          Dm7         G          Cmaj7
Is summer gone?     Has it been that long?
  Fmaj9                           Bm7    E7
I guess that's what seasons will bring.
    Am7     D            G      Cmaj7 Cm7
I'm caught again in the autumn wind, 
               Dm7      G
but I remember spring.
    Cmaj9 Bbmaj9      G11      Cmaj9  Bmaj9
For I've         seen brighter days,
              Cmaj9    Bbmaj9 Em9    A
seen lighter places to stay along my way.
    Dm7        G        Cmaj9 Bbmaj9 F G11
Oh, I've seen brighter days
Cmaj9            Fmaj9 Cmaj9             A     A7
I've seen warmer,      soft and warmer nights
Dm7                   Dm7                    Cmaj9
lying with love by my side in the sycamores
                    Fmaj9 Cmaj9                    A    A7
there've been finer,      I've seen mighty finer nights
Dm7                            Dm7-5                   Cmaj9
Knowing what's wrong or what's right just don't matter
                               E7
when you're in warmer nights.
     Am7   Dm7        G        Cmaj7
But here I am like a sea blown wind
Fmaj9                Bm7   E7
under my thunder and rain
Am7             D           G    Cmaj7   Cm7
I'll ride the waves till a sunny day
             Dm7    G
comes to me again
    Cmaj9 Bbmaj9              Cmaj9
for I've        seen brighter days, 
Bbmaj9       Cmaj9     Bbmaj9  Em9     A
seen lighter places to stay   along my way.  
     Dm7       G        Cmaj9   Bbmaj9  F  Cmaj9
Oh, I've seen brighter days.
