          Bb            Eb              D                G     G7

Bb             Eb               D               G     G7
sunshine for a brother, Old Man Winter's in the air."
Bb             Eb     D              G   G7
Walked me up a story, asking how you are
Bb             Eb              D
Told me not to worry, you were just a shooting star
