Blue Sunny Day by Jonathan Coulton
Capo 2nd fret
So as this song uses a capo on the second fret, i've decided to use the names
of the actual chords rather than the basic shape names like most people do.
I think it's misleading and unhelpful for you to learn a song and start
unconsciously linking the wrong chord names to the wrong sounds. So hopefully
you wont notice a huge difference when learning it, but it'll be worth it.
Let me know if your really struggling though and i'll see what I can do for you.

Bm F#m7
D A Bm F#
Early light that burns my eyes, A minute more the sun will rise
G D A (Fig. 1)
And paint the bright blue sky with yellow gold
D A Bm F#
I'll be dead asleep by then, Shut up in this box again
C#m7b5 F# C#m7b5 F#
Until it's gone, Outside I can hear it
B C#m/B D#m/B E/B
Birds are singing, bees are buzzing, sun shines overhead
B C#m/B D#m/B E/B B F#m7
I'd be there to see it but I can't get out of bed
D Em7 D G/E
Since the day you left the weather always feels this way
Bmaj7 Dmaj7/B E C#m7b5
One more blue sunny day
Bm F#m7
D A Bm F#
Looking for an easy mark, I hit the Denny's after dark
G D A (Fig 1)
And take a lonely waitress home to drink
D A Bm F#
She's sincere, but halfway through, I find I'm wishing she was you
C#m7b5 F# C#m7b5 F#
My blood goes cold, I guess this date is over
B C#m/B D#m/B E/B
Several hours later I'm the only one awake
B C#m/B D#m/B E/B B F#m7
All these streets are empty, it's just me and my mistake
D Em7 D G/E
One by one the stars go out as black sky turns to gray
Bmaj7 Dmaj7/B E C#m7b5
One more blue sunny day Sometimes I see how long
Bmaj7
I can wait
Bm7 E9
Tempting disaster by my garden gate
C#m7b5 Bmaj7
My trembling hand's on the cellar door
Bm7 E7 C#7 F#
Trying not to think of what it is I'm waiting for
G D Em7 F# B C#m/B D#m/B
Bm F#m7
D A Bm F#
All at once I've had enough, As if I'm made of sterner stuff
G D A (Fig 1)
I take a breath and open up the door
D A Bm F#
Dawn breaks hard and falls on me, For just one moment I can see
C#m7b5 F# C#m7b5 F#
The pale blue sky, I close my eyes because
B C#m/B D#m/B E/B
The world's so bright and beautiful I have to look away
B C#m/B D#m/B E/B B F#m7
Braced against the beauty of another perfect day
D Em7 D G/E
As I go to pieces and the breeze blows me away
Bmaj7 Dmaj7/B E C#m7b5
One more blue sunny day
What a song right? enjoy,
Dave
