Electric Light Orchestra
Mr. Blue Sky (2012 Version)
[Intro]
Good morning, today's forecast calls for blue skies
[Verse 1]
Sun is shining in the sky
There ain’t a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin'
Everybody’s in the play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day, hey
Runnin' down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today, hey
[Chorus]
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Hey, you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration
Mr. Blue Sky's up there waiting
And today
Is the day we've waited for, oh
[Chorus]
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
[Alt. Chorus]
Hey there, Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around, see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Hey there, Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around, see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
[Bridge]
Mister Blue Sky
Mister Blue Sky
Mister Blue Sky
[Verse 3]
Mr. Blue, you did it right
But soon comes Mr. Night
Creeping over, now his hand is on your shoulder
Never mind, I’ll remember you this
I’ll remember you this way
[Chorus]
Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (So long)
Where did we go wrong?
[Alt. Chorus]
Hey there, Mr. Blue (Sky)
We're so pleased to be with you (Sky)
Look around, see what you do (Blue)
Everybody smiles at you
