From: Richard G’s Ukulele Songbook www.scorpexuke.com

[C] What a day for a [A7] daydream

[Dm] What a day for a [G7] day dreamin’ boy

[C] And I’m lost in a [A7] daydream

[Dm] Dreaming ‘bout my [G7] bundle of joy

[F] And even if [D7] time ain’t really [C] on my [A7] side

[F] It’s one of those [D7] days for taking a [C] walk out[A7]side

[F] I’m blowing the [D7] day to take a [C] walk in the [A7] sun

[D7] And fall on my face on somebody’s [G7] new-mown lawn

[C] I’ve been having a [A7] sweet dream

[Dm] I’ve been dreaming since I [G7] woke up today

[C] It starred me and my [A7] sweet thing

[Dm] Cause she’s the one makes me [G7] feel this way

[F] And even if [D7] time is passing me [C] by a [A7] lot

[F] I couldn’t care [D7] less about the [C] dues you say I [A7] got

[F] Tomorrow I´ll [D7] pay the dues for [C] dropping my [A7] love

[D7] A pie in the face for being a [G7] sleepin’ bull doag

Whistle: [C] [A7] [Dm] [G7] [C] [A7] [Dm] [G7]

[F] And you can be [D7] sure that if you’re [C] feeling [A7] right

[F] A daydream will [D7] last along [C] into the [A7] night

[F] Tomorrow at [D7] breakfast you may [C] prick up your [A7] ears

[D7] Or you may be daydreaming for a [G7] thousand years

[C] What a day for a [A7] daydream

[Dm] Custom made for a [G7] daydreamin’ boy

[C] And I’m lost in a [A7] daydream

[Dm] Dreaming ‘bout my [G7] bundle of joy

Whistle outro:

The Sound of SIlence - SImon and Garfunkel

e D e[Em] Hello darkness, my old [D] friend, I’ve come to talk with you [Em] again,

C G C GBecause a vision [C] softly [G] creeping, Left its seeds while I [C] was [G] sleeping,

C G eAnd the [C] vision that was planted in my [G] brain -- Still [Em] remains

D eWithin the [D] sound of [Em] silence. [Em] In restless dreams I walked [D] alone Narrow streets of [Em] cobblestone,‘Neath the halo of [C] a street [G] lamp,I turned my collar to the [C] cold and [G] dampWhen my [C] eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [G] light That split the [Em] night And touched the [D] sound of [Em] silence.

[Em] And in the naked light I [D] saw Ten thousand people, maybe [Em] more.[Em] People talking [C] without [G] speaking,People hearing [C] without [G] listening,People writing [C] songs that voices never [G] share And no one [Em] dareDisturb the [D] sound of [Em] silence.

[Em] Fools said I, you do not [D] know Silence like a cancer [Em] grows.Hear my words that I [C] might teach [G] you,Take my arms that I [C] might reach [G] you.But my [C] words like silent raindrops [G] fell,[Em] And echoed... In the [D] wells of [Em] silence

[Em] And the people bowed and [D] prayed To the neon God they [Em] made.And the sign flashed out [C] it’s [G] warning,In the words that it [C] was [G] forming.And the sign said, the [C] words of the prophets Are written on the subway [G] wallsAnd tenement [Em] halls.And whispered in the [D] sounds of [Em] silence.
