[Intro] [C] [G7] [C] [G7]
[Verse 1]
[G7] Oh, I could [C] hide 'neath the [Dm] wings of the [Em] bluebird as she [F] sings. The [C] six-o-clock [Am] alarm would never [D7] ring [G]
But it [C] rings and I [Dm] rise. Wipe the [Em] sleep out of my [F] eyes. My [C] shaving [Am] razor's [Dm] cold [G7] and it [C] stings
[Bridge] [C - G - C - F - Am - G - C]
[Chorus]
[F] Cheer up [G] sleepy [Em] Jean - - - [F] Oh what [G] can it [Am] mean [F] to a [C] Daydream [F] believer [C] and a [Am] homecoming [D7] queen [G7]
[Verse 2]
[C] You once thought of [Dm] me as a [Em] white knight on his [F] steed. [C] Now you know how [Am] happy I can [D7] be [G]
Oh and our [C] good times start and [Dm] end, without [Em] dollar one to [F] spend - But [C] how much [Am] baby [Dm] do we [G7] really [C] need
[Bridge] [C - G - C - F - Am - G - C]
[Chorus]
[F] Cheer up [G] sleepy [Em] Jean - - - [F] Oh what [G] can it [Am] mean [F] to a [C] Daydream [F] believer [C] and a [Am] homecoming [D7] queen [G7]
Repeat [Chorus]
