D        A/C#           Bm                            D              A/C#          Bm
Met a man with the answer to everything  Books and words from philsophers come
G    D/F#           Em                              F    E          D        A/C#     Bm
Analysed and he cut down a winter tree  To find the sun 
 
Fell asleep, had a dream by the winter tree  Heard the snow fall and melt
into spring  Saw the ice lose its hold  On the pale frost grass  To
which it clings 
 
Chorus
A                                              E/A            G                                  D
Have you ever seen a                better day  Though we follow many different ways 
Though your mind may hold the winter time  Spring is never very       far behind
E                                                                    A^7  F^7 A^7  F^7                      
 In the summer under open skies  We'll see the sunshine, shine on 
Take it easy live today today  We'll see the sunshine, shine on 
 
When I woke there I was by the winter tree  Nothing changed but a thought in
the air  Seasons turn, take their days  And in time, I'll take mine 
I'll go back there 
 
Chorus 
 
Shine on  Take it easy live today today  We'll see the sunshine, shine
on
