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: C Am7 X2 CHORUS:

C               Am7
Sugar dumpling, you're my baby

Fadd9                 C
I love you in every way

               Am7
Sugar dumpling, you're my baby

Fadd9                         C
My love grows stronger everyday, yeah

REPEAT CHORUS

C                           Am7
Listen, while I tell you a story

C                   Am7
A story about my girl

C                     Am7
I call her sugar dumpling

C                                        Am7
Because she's the sweetest thing in this whole world

C                          Am7
Oh, whenever I'm feeling bad

C                          Am7
Right away she puts me to bed

C                         Fadd9
And she hires two nurses, one to hold my hand

G                          C
The other one to rub my head

CHORUS

C                                    Am7
Oh, whenever I tell her, "Honey I'm hungry"

C                                Am7
Now go and fix me something to eat

C                                      Am7
This girl rushes in the kitchen and fixes me a dinner

C                             Am7
With seven different kinds of meat

C                                         Am7
If I call her up at two o'clock in the morning

C                             Am7
And say, "Come on over if you can"

C                             Fadd9
Before I hang up the telephone, she's sitting beside me

G                            C
With a cup of coffee in her hand
