A7 G A7 D
A7 G A7 D
He's like the sunflower, following the sun all day
[Chorus 1]
D A7
Most people sit around a lonely room
A7 D
Looking for the worst, predicting doom
G D
But I know a fella and he's always gay
A7 G A7 D D7
He's like a sunflower, following the sun all day
[Verse 1]
G D
Well, he's up in the morning with the first daylight
A7 D
A heart full of hope that everything's alright
G D
The faith that everything will turn out for the best
E7 A7
And the strength to stand the test
[Chorus 2]
D A7
Well, I used to spend my time with my head bowed down
A7 D
Afraid to see the sun, looking at the ground
G D
But then, I met my friend and I began to see
A7 D
He made a sunflower out of me
A7 G A7 D
He's like a sunflower, following the sun all day

[Verse 2]
G D
Well, a sunflower couldn't stand beside a rose
A7 D
But at least it doesn't die when the cold wind blows
G D
It's reaching for the sunshine when the skies are gray
E7 A7
Following the sun all day
[Chorus 3]
D A7
I believe the Lord gave us this that we might learn
A7 D
To follow in His path no matter how hard the turn
G D
You look, you'll find the sunshine will show the way
A7 G A7 D
Be like the sunflower, following the sun all day
A7 G A7 D
Be like the sunflower, following the sun all day
[Outro]
