Chords

If you want an "original sound", these ain't the chords for you, chief. I just play it as more of an acoustic rock ballad. If you don't like it, don't use it. [Verse]
Am         C                   Am
The other night dear as I lay sleeping

            F              C
I dreamed I held you in my arms

        F                  C
When I awoke dear I was mistaken

              G           Am
and I hung my head and I cried
[Chorus]
 Am          C                Am
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         Am
Please don't take my sunshine away
[Verse]
 Am          C                     Am
I'll always love you and make you happy

            F            C
If you will only say the same

           F                  C
But if you leave me to love another

                   G        Am
You will regret it all some day
[Chorus]
Am            C                Am
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        Am
Please don't take my sunshine away
[Verse]
Am           C                     Am
You told me once dear, you really loved me

           F                 C
and no one else could come between

               F                  C
but now you've left me and love another

                   G      Am
you have shattered all my dreams
[Chorus]
Am           C                Am
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         Am
Please don't take my sunshine away
