       D5 - A5 - D5 D5  D5 (hammer) D5   D5  A5  D5  A/E5 hammer F5   (3x)

Through the verse, a Dm is played while walking the bass line down from open d 
string, to c note (on the A string), 
to the b note to open A string rapidly followed by the A7 chord.

VERSE 1:
      D5              D5    D5      A5 / A5        D5  
And I wake up in the morning, pour some coffee for my brain

D5       D5    A5

D5          D5        D5   A5                 C5   D5  E5 (no third)  
Everyday is different,     but I always feel the same.

CHORUS
B5                 G5     F#5            B5      A5  G5 
Everybody tells me   the world is in my head (hand?), yeah!

But that don*t mean a thing to me            cause I*ll never be a man,
                B5   (run: B5 C#5 E5 F#5 E5 D5 ) A5 G5 F5                  E5  E5 
if I don*t have yooou                          if I don*t have you.

E5  E5 E5  E5 

VERSE 2:
And I read the morning papers, just like other people do
Every day it*s different, but there*s nothing really new.

CHORUS
Sunshine through my window, and it brightens up my day, yeah!
But that don?t mean a thing to me, cause I*ll never find my way,
if I don*t have you                     if I don*t have you
