You Are My Sunshine - Traditional

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Dave S.

Email: Dlgibson@netscape.com

Tuning: Standard

So I figured out the Melody for this song many years ago. So I decided

to add some bass notes to give the song a fuller sound. I have also

tabbed out just the Melody for the ones who are just now learning this

tune. Enjoy.

The Cords:

C

The other night dear as I lay sleeping

F C

I dreamed I held you in my arms

F C

but when I woke dear I was mistaken

G C

and I hung my head and cried.

C

You are my sunshine my only sunshine

F C

you make me happy when skies are gray

F C

you'll never know dear how much I love you

G C

please dont take my sunshine away.

I'll always love you and make you happy

if you will only say the same

but if you leave me to love another

you'll regret it all some day

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

you make me happy, when skies are gray,

you'll never know dear, how much I love you,

please don't take my sunshine away.

You told me once dear you really loved me

that no one else could come between

but now you've left me and love another

you have shattered all my dreams.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

you make me happy, when skies are gray,

you'll never know dear, how much I love you,

please don't take my sunshine away.
