Verse:

Bb Eb Bb Eb Bb

I can see clearly now the rain is gone, well

Bb Eb F

I can see all obstacles in my way, yeah

Bb Eb Bb

Gone have the dark clouds that used to make me blind

Ab Eb Bb

It's gonna be a bright, (bright) bright, (bright) sun shiny day

Ab Eb Bb

Oh I can see a bright, (bright) oh a little bright, now (bright) sun shiny day

Verse:

I think I can make it now that the rain is gone, yes I can

All of the bad feelings have disappeared.

Here is the rainbow I have been praying for.

Well, It's gonna be a bright, (bright) bright, (bright) sun shiny day

Oh it's gonna be a bright, (bright) bright, (bright) sun shiny day

Bridge:

C# Ab

Well, look all around, there's nothing but blue skies

C# F

Why don't you just a- look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies

solo over verse chords

Bridge:

C# Ab

Yes, look all around, there is nothing but blue skies

C# F

Why don't you look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies

I can see clearly now the rain is gone

I can see all obstacles in my way, don't worry!

Gone have all the dark clouds that used to make me blind.

Oh, I see it bright, (bright) bright, (bright) sun shiny day, yes I do

It's gonna be a bright, (bright) bright, (bright) sun shiny day

.....

fade out

A great soul number!
