[Intro]
 
Em F#m7 Em
 
 
[Chorus]
 
           Em
You are my sunshine
F#m7      Em
My only sunshine
    F#m7      Cmaj7
You make me happy
      D/F#       Em
When skies are grey
       F#m7    Cmaj7
You'll never know dear
    D/F#     Em
How much I love you
F#m7     Em            Am       Em
Please don't take my sunshine away
 
 
[Verse]
 
          Em
The other night dear
   F#m7    Em
As I lay sleeping
  F#m7        Cmaj7
I dreamed I held you
D/F#    Em
In my arms
    F#m7 Cmaj7
When I awoke dear
D/F#    Em
I was mistaken
F#m7    Em      Am       Em
and I hung my head and cried
 
 
[Verse]
 
             Em
I'll always love you
F#m7           Em
and make you happy
   F#m7       Cmaj7
If you will only
D/F#      Em
Say the same
    F#m7     Cmaj7
but if you leave me
  D/F#    Em
To have another
F#m7     Em        Am     Em
You'll regret it all someday
 
 
[Chorus]
 
           Em
You are my sunshine
F#m7      Em
My only sunshine
    F#m7      Cmaj7
You make me happy
      D/F#       Em
When skies are grey
       F#m7    Cmaj7
You'll never know dear
    D/F#     Em
How much I love you
F#m7     Em            Am       Em
Please don't take my sunshine away
 
 
[Verse]
 
          Em
In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me
       Cmaj7               Em
When I awake my poor heart pains.
            Cmaj7                 Em
So when you come back and make me happy
Em                   Am           Em
I'll forgive you and take all the blame.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
           Em
You are my sunshine
F#m7      Em
My only sunshine
    F#m7      Cmaj7
You make me happy
      D/F#       Em
When skies are grey
       F#m7    Cmaj7
You'll never know dear
    D/F#     Em
How much I love you
F#m7     Em            Am       Em
Please don't take my sunshine away
