[Dm]Who will buy this wonderful morning
Such a sky you [G]never did [Am]see
[Dm]Who will tie it up with a ribbon
And [Dm]put it in a [G]box for [C]me


So I could [Dm]see it at [G]my [Am]leisure
When[Dm]ever [G]things go [C]wrong
And I would [Em]keep it as a [Bm]treasure
To [Em]last my whole life [E]long


[Am]Who will buy this wonderful feeling
[Am]I’m so high I swear I could [F]fly
[Am]Me oh my, I don’t want to lose it
So [Dm]what am I to do to [Em]keep this sky so [F]blue
There [Em]must be [Dm]someone [F]who [E]will [Am]buy


[NC]Who will buy this wonderful morning
Such a sky you [G]never did [F]see
[Am]Who will tie it up with a ribbon
And [Dm]put it in a [G]box for [C]me


There’ll never [Dm]be a day so [C]sunny
It [Dm]could not [G]happen [C]twice
Where is the [Em]man with all the [Bm]money
It’s [Em]cheap at [E7]half the [E]price


[Am]Who will buy this wonderful feeling
[Am]I’m so high I swear I could [F]fly
[Am]Me oh my, I don’t want to lose it
So [Dm]what am I to do to [Em]keep the sky so [F]blue
There [Em]must be [Dm]someone [F]who [E7]will [Am]buy!


[NC]Who will buy my sweet red [G]roses
Two [Dm]blooms for [Em]a [Am]penny


[F] [E] [Am]
