I just looked out my window and it gave my heart a thrill
Am D7 G7
To see dogwoods blooming on the side of that ol' hill
C Em F Fm
For the first time in a long time I feel as good as new
C F G7 C
And I'm hungry for the sunshine by me gettin' over you
F C
I can hear those bluebirds singin' as I stroll that ol' mountain side
Am D7 G7
And I'm thankful to the good Lord I still remember how to smile
C Em F Fm
Thought I can't believe I've never wanted to see another flower bloom
C F G7 C
And I'm hungry for the sunshine by me gettin' over you
F G7 C
I'm getting over the memory of a pain you put me through
D7 G7
This broken heart's nearly mended and my mind's feeling too
C Em F Fm
I've been hiding in the shadows of a lonely darken room
C F G7 C
And I'm hungry for the sunshine by me gettin' over you
F G7 C
Yes I'm hungry for the sunshine by me gettin' over you
I just looked out my window and it gave my heart a thrill
Am D7 G7
To see dogwoods blooming on the side of that ol' hill
