You Are My Sunshine
Verse 1:
The other [G] night dear... as I lay dreaming
I dreamt that [C] you were by my [G] side
Came disi[C]llusion... when I a[G]woke, dear
You were gone, and [D7] then I [G] cried [pause]
|Chorus:
|You are my [G] sunshine... my only sunshine
|You make me [C] happy... when skies are [G] grey
|You’ll never [C] know dear... how much I [G] love you
|Please don’t take... my [D7] sunshine a[G]way
Verse 2:
You told me [G] once dear... there’d be no other
And no-one [C] else could come be[G]tween
But now you’ve [C] left me... to love an[G]other
You have broken [D7] all my [G] dreams
|Chorus:
|You are my [G] sunshine... my only sunshine
|You make me [C] happy... when skies are [G] grey
|You’ll never [C] know dear... how much I [G] love you
|Please don’t take... my [D7] sunshine a[G]way
Verse 3:
I’ll always [G] love you... and make you happy
If you will [C] only do the [G] same
But if you [C] leave me... how it will [G] grieve me
Never more I’ll [D7] breathe your [G] name
|Chorus:
|You are my [G] sunshine... my only sunshine
|You make me [C] happy... when skies are [G] grey
|You’ll never [C] know dear... how much I [G] love you
|Please don’t take... my [D7] sunshine a[G]way
