[Intro]
D
 
[Verse 1]
                             D
Had enough of heartbreak and pain
                                  Em
I had a little sweet spot for the rain
 
For the rain and skies of grey
                           D
Hello sunshine, won't you stay?
 
 
[Verse 2]
                                   D  Dmaj7  D6  Dmaj7
You know I always liked my walking shoes
D  Dmaj7 D6  Dmaj7                     Em
But you can get a little too fond of the blues
 
You walk too far, you walk away
                           D
Hello sunshine, won't you stay?
 
 
[Verse 3]
                                 G
You know I always loved a lonely town
                             D  Dmaj7  D6  Dmaj7
Those empty streets, no one around
D  Dmaj7 D6  Dmaj7                     Em
You fall in love with lonely, you end up that way
                           D
Hello sunshine, won't you stay?

[Verse 4]
D  Dmaj7 D6  Dmaj7                 G
You know I always liked that empty road
                            D  Dmaj7  D6  Dmaj7
No place to be and miles to go
                          Em
But miles to go is miles away
                           D
Hello sunshine, won't you stay?
                          Em
And miles to go is miles away
                           D
Hello sunshine, won't you stay?
                           C
Hello sunshine, won't you stay?
G                D
  Hello sunshine

Great effort mate thanks

In fairness, the studio recording has strings, drums and piano throughout. My original tab was a representation of how I play it live with just an acoustic guitar. It was an accurate reflection of just that, one person's interpretation of the song, stripped back to one instrument. The author (me) wrote it as if there were only three chords because that is how I play it, with a few 'fiddly' bits (Dsus etc) on the D chord. I did not include an outro in my original post because I don't play an outro. At its heart this is a very simple song which, subjectively, works very well for mein a live situation with just one acoustic guitar and one voice. The 'corrections' on here should more properly have been posted in a new version of the song.

Many thanks to the original poster, great song.
