------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keep on the Sunny Side - The Carter Family ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my attempt at a tab for "Keep on the Sunny Side" by The Carter Family as played on disc one of the "In the Shadow of Clinch Mountain" boxset. On the cd this is in the key of B. If you search on youtube, you will find Ma Carter playing this out of the C position, so presumably she is tuned a half step down on the cd. I tabbed this out in C so to play along with the record tune your guitar a half step down. Intro/Musical Break:

CThere's a Fdark and a troubled side of Clife There's a bright, there's a sunny side, Gtoo Tho' we G7meet with the darkness and sCtrife GThe sunny side we also may Cview
Chorus:
CKeep on the sunny side, Falways on the Csunny side Keep on the sunny side of Glife It will Chelp us every day, it will Fbrighten all the Cway If we'll keep on the Gsunny side of Clife
The storm and its fury broke today Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear Clouds and storms will, in time, pass away The sun again will shine bright and clear [Chorus] Let us greet with the song of hope each day Tho the moment be cloudy or fair Let us trust in our Saviour always Who keepeth everyone in His care [Chorus]
