D Em7/9 Em7 Em7/9 A7 Gm7 Gdim
When Sun - ny gets blue, her eyes get gray and cloudy,
D Em F#m7 Fm7
Then the rain begins to fall.
Em7 Gm7 Dm7 Fm7
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter, love is gone so what can matter?
Em7 A7 D B7
No sweet lovin' man comes to call.
D Em7/9 Em7 Em7/9 A7 Gm7 Gdim
When Sun - ny gets blue she breathes a sigh of sadness
D Em F#m7 Fm7
Like the wind that stirs the trees,
Em7 Gm7 Dm7 Fm7
Wind that sets the leaves to swayin' like some violins are playin'
Em7 A7 D D6
Weird and haunting mel-o-dies.
Bridge:
Em7 A7 D Bm7
People used to love to hear her laugh, see her smile--
Em7 A7 D D6
That's how she got her name.
Bm7-5 E7 AM7 F#m7
Since that sad affair she's lost her smile, changed her style--
Bm7-5 E7 Em7 A7
Somehow she's not the same.
Em7/9 Em7 Em7/9 A7 Gm7 Gdim
But mem - 'ries will fade and pretty dreams will rise up
D Em F#m7 Fm7
Where her other dreams fell through;
Em7 Gm7 Dm7 Fm7
Hurry, new love, hurry here to kiss away each lonely tear,
Em7 Gdim F#m7 Fm7
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue.
Coda:
Em7 Gm7 Dm7 Fm7
Hurry, new love, hurry here to kiss away each lonely tear,
Em7 Gdim A7 D Bm7 G/B G/Bb D
And hold her near when Sunny gets blue.
