CHORUS 1:
CYou are my sunshine, my only sunshine,
            F                    CYou make me happy when skies are gray.
             F                     CYou'll never know dear, how much I love you,
                     G        CPlease don't take my sunshine away.


VERSE 1:
CThe other night dear, as I lay sleeping,
            F              CI dreamed I held you in my arms.
       F                     CWhen I awoke, dear, I was mistaken,
              G        CAnd I hung my head and cried.


REPEAT CHORUS


VERSE 2:
CI'll always love you and make you happy,
            F            CIf you will only say the same.
           F                   CBut if you leave me to love another,
                 G        CYou'll regret it all some day.


REPEAT CHORUS


VERSE 3:
CYou told me once, dear, you really loved me,
           F                  CAnd no one else could come between.
               F                  CBut now you've left me and love another,
                   G      CYou have shattered all my dreams:


REPEAT CHORUS


VERSE 4:
CI'll always love you and make you happy,
            F            CIf you will only say the same.
           F                   CBut if you leave me to love another,
              G           CYou'll regret it all some day.


CODA:
CYou are my sunshine, my only sunshine,
            F                    CYou make me happy when skies are gray.
             F                     CYou'll never know dear, how much I love you,
                     G        CPlease don't take my sunshine away.(Fade)
