A Brighter Day

• G#m

A Brighter Day
The Doobie Brothers
Capo: 1

NOTE: The annotation "(f#) (g#) (Bb)" in the first chorus indicates a
base line walkup under the B chord. If you're ambitious, you can play
full chords there rather than the base notes. The chords would be F#,
G#m, Bb.

There’s a little bitty boy down in Jamaica
    B                             F#
Who has the gift of seeing second sight
            B                  E
He sees the world and all it’s troubles
      B                  F#             B
But inside his heart the sun is shining bright

          B             E

                 B                     E
Well the network news went down to the island
   B                               F#
To try to understand the things he sees
            B                           E
But he just laughed and he waved at the camera
          B            F#              B
He said, "Open up your mind and follow me."

          B             E

When people go to war it hurts us all you see
E                                 B
They don’t feel the need to congregate
  D                          A
I may be just a boy but I am not a fool
    C#m                      E                F#
Our leaders need to simplify instead of complicate
