[F#] [C#] [F#] [C#] [G#]
The
[C#] [F#] beggar [F#m] man and the mighty king are only different in [Bm] [B]
[E] name, [A] for they are [C#] treated [F#m] just
[D#] the same [C#] by [G#] fate.
[C#] [F#m] Today [Bm] a [F#m] smile and tomorrow a [F#] tear will never show what's in [Bm] store, [E] [D] [A] so learn [D] your lesson
[F#m] before it [G#] is [C#] too [D] late.
[D#] So
[C#] [F#] be [C#] like I, [F#] hold your head up [C#] high, [F#] till you find [G#m] the [C#] bluebird [F#] of happiness.
You [A#m] [F] will find [A#m] greater peace [F] of [A#m] mind, knowing [Fm] there's a
[G#] bluebird of [C#] happiness.
[F]
[C#] And when [F#] he sings [A#] to you, [B] though you're deep in [D#] blue, [G#m] you will see [A#m] a ray [C#] of [F#] light [D#] creep [C#] through.
And so [F#] remember
[C#] this, [F#] life is [C#] no abyss,
[F#] somewhere there's [G#m] a [C#] [F] bluebird [F#] of happiness.
[D#]
[Fm] [F#m] The poet with his pen, [C#] [F#] the peasant [Bm] with his plow, it makes no [F#m] difference who you are,
it's all the same somehow.
[C#] The king upon his throne, the jester [Bm] at his feet, the artist, the actress, the man on the street.
[E] It's a life of smiles and a [A] life of tears.
[C#] [C#m] It's a life of hopes [F#] and a life [Bm]
of fears.
[Em] A blinding torrent of rain and [F#] a brilliant [Bm] burst of sun.
A biting, tearing pain and [C#] bubbling, [F#m] sparkling fun.
[Bm] And no matter what you have, [F#m] don't envy those you meet.
[Bm] It's all the same, it's in the [C#] game, the bitter and the sweet.
And if [F#] things don't look so cheerful, just show [C#] a little fight.
For [F#] every bit of darkness, there's a little [C#] bit of light.
For every bit of hatred, [F#] there's a little bit [G#m] of love.
For every cloudy morning, [A#m] there's [Dm] a midnight [C#m] moon
[C#] [F#] above.
[D#m] [F#] [C#m]
[F#] So don't you, [C#]
you [F#] must search, till you [F#m] find [G#m] the blue.
[C#]
[F#] You will find peace [Bm] and [A#] [G#m] contentment forever.
[D#m]
If you [A#m] will [F#] be [A#] like I, [B] hold your [D#] head up high, [G#m] till you see [C#] a ray of [F#]
light [C#] and cheer.
