G Am7 C D7
Blue skies over my head
G Am7 C D7
Give me another reason to get out of bed
G Am7 C D7
And blue skies shine on my face
Em Em/D Em/C Em/B Am7 D7 Gsus4 Gsus4 G
Give me another woman to take her place
Ain't got no money, cupboards are bare
No cigarettes and the kids got nothing to wear
She walked out without a word
Em Em/D Em/C Em/B Am7 D7
Now the only sound left is the morning bird singing
Blue skies over my head
Give me another reason to get out of bed
And blue skies shine on my face
Give me another woman to take her place
Blue skies over my head
Give me another reason to get out of bed
And blue skies shine on my face
Give me another woman to take her place
Give me another woman to take her place
