Townes Van Zandt – Dont Let The Sunshine Fool Ya chords

Written by Guy Clark covered on The Late Great Townes Van Zandt

BMe & this friend named streetlife brown
         A                 EWe got a bottle of red and walked uptown
    BOne hand on the jug and one on time
          A                        EHe said I bet you a dollar against this next line, I said

E              B Don't let the sunshine fool ya
A                        E Don't let the bluebirds tool ya
E              B Don't let the women do ya
A                EPut your hand in mine

oh advice is fine if you've got a mind
To listen to the end that's got the time
But the muse'll get ya if you don't watch out
He's equipped to know what it's all about

Don't let the sunshine fool ya
Don't let the bluebirds tool ya
Don't let the women do ya
Put your hand in mine

Fanon street in the afternoon
An easy way to get out of tune
But the hard soap salesman he said no dice
When I asked politely for a better price

Don't let that sunshine fool ya
Don't let them bluebirds tool ya
Don't let the women do ya
Put your hand in mine

Well here's a song for you child of mine
I hope you make it through this time
Get yourself a piece of that rainbow pie
No reason in the world that you can't get by

Don't let the sunshine fool ya
Don't let the bluebirds tool ya
Don't let the women do ya
Put your hand in mine

Don't let the sunshine fool ya
Don't let the bluebirds tool ya
Don't let the women do ya
Put your hand in mine
