Chorus:
A
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
             D                     A
You make me happy when skies are gray
               D                   A
You'll never know dear how much I love you
                 E                 A
So please don't take my sunshine away

A
The other night dear, as I laid sleeping
            D                   A
I dreamt I held you in my tired arms
         D                   A
When I awoke dear, I was mistaken
               E           A
So I bowed my head and I cried

Chorus

I've always loved you, made you happy
And nothin' else could come between
But now you've left me to love another
And you've shattered all my dreams

Chorus

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
So please don't take my sunshine away
