Daddy what if the sun stop shining
D7GG7
What would happen then
CG
If the sun stopped shining you'd be so surprised
CG
You'd stare at the heavens with wide open eyes
CGEm
And the wind would carry your light to the skies
AmD7G
And the sun would start shining again
Am
Daddy what if the wind stopped blowing
D7GG7
What would happen then
CG
If the wind stopped blowing then the land would be dry
CG
And your boat wouldn't sail son and your kite couldn't fly
CGEm
And the grass would see your troubles and she'd tell the wind
AmD7G
And the wind would start blowing again

Am
But daddy what if the grass stopped growing
D7GG7
What would happen then
CG
If the grass stopped growing why you'd probably cry
CG
And the ground would be watered by the tears from your eyes
CGEm
And like your love for me the grass would grow so high
AmD7G
Yes the grass would start growing again
Am
But daddy what if I stopped loving you
D7G
What would happen then
CG
If you'd stop loving me then the grass would stop growing
CG
The sun would stop shining and the wind would stop blowing
CGEm
So you see if you wanna keep this old world a going
AmD7GEm
You better start loving me again again
AmD7G
You better start loving me again
You hear me Bobby
AmD7G
You better start loving me again
You love me Bobby
AmD7G
You better start loving me again
