Chords

One of my favourite Sam Cooke songs. This is my interpretation of the song and I play it with a similar strumming technique to that on Wonderful World, also by Sam Cooke. Any suggestions for change are welcomed! Otherwise, enjoy. The song isn't too difficult and an absolute belter to sing along too. SD x Intro: G Em7 X2 CHORUS:
G               Em7
Sugar dumpling, you're my baby

Cadd9                 G
I love you in every way

               Em7
Sugar dumpling, you're my baby

Cadd9                         G
My love grows stronger everyday, yeah
REPEAT CHORUS
G                           Em7
Listen, while I tell you a story

G                   Em7
A story about my girl

G                     Em7
I call her sugar dumpling

G                                        Em7
Because she's the sweetest thing in this whole world

G                          Em7
Oh, whenever I'm feeling bad

G                          Em7
Right away she puts me to bed

G                         Cadd9
And she hires two nurses, one to hold my hand

D                          G
The other one to rub my head
CHORUS
G                                    Em7
Oh, whenever I tell her, "Honey I'm hungry"

G                                Em7
Now go and fix me something to eat

G                                      Em7
This girl rushes in the kitchen and fixes me a dinner

G                             Em7
With seven different kinds of meat

G                                         Em7
If I call her up at two o'clock in the morning

G                             Em7
And say, "Come on over if you can"

G                             Cadd9
Before I hang up the telephone, she's sitting beside me

D                            G
With a cup of coffee in her hand
