Gordon Lightfoot - Wherefore and why

When ^CI woke this morning, ^Amsomething inside of me, ^Dtold me this would ^Ambe my ^Cday I heard the morning train, ^AmI felt the wind change, ^Dtoo many times I m ^Amon my ^Cway

^DCome on ^Csunshine, ^Cwhat can you ^Cshow me ^CWhere can you ^Ctake me to ^A7make me under^Dstand The ^Cwind can ^Cshake me, ^Cbrothers for^Csake me The ^Crain can ^Ctouch me, but ^Ccan I touch the ^Dsus4rain ^D

And ^Cthen I saw the sunrise, a^Ambove the cotton sky, ^Dlike a candy ^Amcane de^Clight I saw the milkman, ^AmI saw the business man, ^DI saw the only ^Amroad in ^Csight Then I got to thinking, ^Amwhat makes you want to go, ^Dto know the ^Amwherefore and the ^Cwhy So many times now, ^Amoh lord I can t remember, ^Dif its Sep^Amtember or Ju^Cly

Then all at once it came to me, ^AmI saw the wherefore, ^Dand you can see it ^Amif you ^Ctry It s in the sun above, ^Amit s in the one you love, ^Dyou ll never know the ^Amreason ^Cwhy

^DCome on ^Csunshine, ^Cwhat can you ^Cshow me ^CWhere can you ^Ctake me to ^A7make me under^Dstand The ^Cwind can ^Cshake me, ^Cbrothers for^Csake me The ^Crain can ^Ctouch me, but ^Ccan I touch the ^Dsus4rain ^D
