[Verse]
C                Gm            A
People are queer, They're always crowing
Dm              Fm   G# G   C                       Dm     G
Scrambling and rushing about, Why don't they stop some day
                        C
Address themselves this way
                 Gm          A
Why are we here? Where are we going?
Dm             E        Am
It's time that we found out
D         Am         D             Fm   A   G# Dm     G
We're not here to stay, We're on a short hol-i-day
 
 
{ CHORUS }
C      G             Am
Life is just a bowl of cherries
              C#m                    G
Don't take it serious, life's too mysterious
    Dm        G        C Gm   A
You work, you save, you wor-ry   so
        Dm              G             D   Fm   G
But you can't take your dough when you go, go,   go,
   C     G               Am           Gm       A         Dm   A  Dm
So keep repeating it's the berries, The strongest oaks must fall
    F#m                      Em            A
The sweet things in life, To you were just loaned
   Dm          G         D            G
So how can you lose, What you've never owned
C      G     Gm     A
Life is just a bowl of cherries
   D        Dm       G  C  F#m   G
So live and laugh at it  all
