Chords used: C G Am F
Intro: C G Am F C G (continues through whole song)
[Chorus - Akon]:
C G Am
Who'd ever thought that I would see this day
F C G
Where I would see my ghetto life fade away
C G Am
Cause I was lost and couldn't find a way
F C G
And now I look forward to every day
C
Welcome to my sunny day
[Verse 1 - Akon]:
Block don't stop, always stayed hot
No matter how the seasons got
I still remember when they took me away
Kept it on lock, then I got caught
Realized I had to stop
Then I took the time to explore a better way
Searched high and low, so close, yet so far to go
I just know, there's a sunny day
[Chorus - Akon]:
Who'd ever thought that I would see this day
Where I would see my ghetto life fade away
Cause I was lost and couldn't find a way
And now I look forward to every day
Welcome to my sunny day
My sunny day
Everyday
A better day
Welcome to my sunny day
My sunny day
Every day
A better day
Welcome to my sunny day
[Verse 2 - Wyclef Jean]:
I was born in the ghetto
Raised in the ghetto
Saw my first 9 millimeter in the ghetto
Got my first kiss in the ghetto
Played hide and go seek with the girls in the ghetto
Wrote my first hit in the ghetto
Yeah Mona Lisa, can I get a date on Friday-ay-ay?
It's hard for me to let go
Life in the ghetto
The night it blessed my cousin (whoa-oa-oa)
Had to find a way out the ghetto
Picked up the guitar and started singing in the ghetto
Haters used to hate in the ghetto
Said I woulda never made it up out the ghetto
I guess that's why my cousins sold the yayo
Even though Annie said the sun come out tomorrow
But the ghetto stayed dark
I never thought I'd ever see the Billboard charts
[Chorus - Akon]:
Who'd ever thought that I would see this day
Where I would see my ghetto life fade away
Cause I was lost and couldn't find a way
And now I look forward to every day
Welcome to my sunny day
My sunny day
Everyday
A better day
Welcome to my sunny day
My sunny day
Every day
A better day
Welcome to my sunny day
[Verse 3 - Akon]:
Been a long day
On my way
To my holy place to pray
Give thanks for every blessing given to me
I know theres more to see, more to me
No more living in misery
Cause this is how I envisioned life to be
Searched high and low, so close, yet so far to go
I just know, there's a sunny day
[Chorus - Akon]:
Who'd ever thought that I would see this day
Where I would see my ghetto life fade away
Cause I was lost and couldn't find a way
And now I look forward to every day
Welcome to my sunny day
My sunny day
Everyday
A better day
Welcome to my sunny day
My sunny day
Every day
A better day
Welcome to my sunny day
