You Are My Sunshine – Davis/Mitchell

C

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

              F                    C

You make me happy when skies are grey

              F                     C

You’ll never know dear, how much I love you

                      G7        C

Please don’t take my sunshine away

C

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

               G7       C

And I hung my head and cried

C

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

              F                   C

You make me happy when skies are grey

              F                     C

You’ll never know dear, how much I love you

                      G7       C

Please don’t take my sunshine away

C

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

                 G7        C

You’ll regret it all some day

C

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

              F                   C

You make me happy when skies are grey

              F                     C

You’ll never know dear, how much I love you

                      G7       C

Please don’t take my sunshine away

C

You told me once dear, you really loved me

             F                      C

And no one else dear could come between

                F                 C

But now you’ve left me and love another

                    G7       C

You have shattered all my dreams

C

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

             F                    C

You make me happy when skies are grey

              F                     C

You’ll never know dear, how much I love you

                      G7        C / / / / / C—

Please don’t take my sunshine away
