[Intro]
Dm7  G7, C
[Verse 1]
       Dm7         G7             C          C/B     Am7
Like a long lonely stream, I keep runnin' to-wards a dream;
Dm7        G7      C  F  C
 Movin' on, movin' on.
F6    Am7 Dm7         G7           C        C/B   Am7
 Like a   branch on a tree, I keep reachin' to be free;
Dm7        G7      C  F  C
 Movin' on, movin' on.
[Chorus 1]
               Dm7          G7                 C        E7    Am
'Cos there's a place in the sun, where there's hope for ev'ry-one.
      Am7 Dm7           G7             C   Cmaj7  C6
Where my  poor restless heart's, gotta run.
          Dm7          G7          C       E7      Am
There's a place in the sun, and be-fore my life is done;
Am7     Dm7       G7           C   F  C
 Got to find me a place in the sun.
[Verse 2]
        Dm7       G7          C      C/B      Am7
Like an old dusty road, I get we-ary from the load;
Dm7        G7      C  F  C
 Movin' on, movin' on.
          Dm7             G7               C       C/B      Am7
Like this tired, troubled earth, I've been rollin' since my birth;
Dm7        G7      C  F  C
 Movin' on, movin' on.
[Chorus 2]
               Dm7          G7                 C        E7    Am
'Cos there's a place in the sun, where there's hope for ev'ry-one.
      Am7 Dm7           G7             C   Cmaj7  C6
Where my  poor restless heart's, gotta run.
          Dm7          G7          C       E7      Am
There's a place in the sun, and be-fore my life is done;
Am7     Dm7       G7           C   F  C
 Got to find me a place in the sun. I know...
[Chorus 3]
               Dm7          G7                 C        E7    Am
'Cos there's a place in the sun, where there's hope for ev'ry-one.
      Am7 Dm7           G7             C   Cmaj7  C6
Where my  poor restless heart's, gotta run.
          Dm7          G7          C       E7      Am
There's a place in the sun, and be-fore my life is done;
Am7     Dm7       G7           C   F  C
 Got to find me a place in the sun.
