Look all around, there's nothing but blue sky,
Look straight ahead, nothing but blue sky...

Using the A barre chord (577655) also puts you in great position to play C#m (x46654) and G as barre chords. You can also use C#m7 and that should sound fine as well.

Great song. Fun to play.

I think your chord changes are still a little out, though; I've tried playing along with it on THIS youtube version and I think it's more like this......

I can see clearly now the rain has gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way,
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day,
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day.

I think I can make it now the pain has gone,
All of the bad feelings have disappeared,
Here is that rainbow I've been prayin' for,
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day,
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day.

Look all around, there's nothing but blue sky,
Look straight ahead, nothing but blue sky...

I can see clearly now the rain has gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way,
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind,
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day,
It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day.

Try it like this, let me know what you think.

:D :D :D

Further edit- thanks to Laz, who pointed out that I had the chorus timing incorrect- probably something to do with the fact that I worked it out, and posted it in quick succession, and also pointed out that I'd missed out the "back half" of the bridge. Now it's been fixed.]]> Easy Songs ShadyHarrison https://guitarnoise.forum/easy-songs/i-can-see-clearly-now-johnny-nash/#post-38359
