Tabbed by: cg10

Version in the same tuning as Jimmie Davis and also Ray Charles.

           F(x4)
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
            Bb(x2)         F(x2)
I dreamed I held you in my arms
           Bb(x2)                F(x2)
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
     F(x1)    C7(x1)     F(x2)
So I hung my head and I cried.

           F(x4)
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
            Bb(x2)               F(x2)
You make me happy when skies are gray
             Bb(x2)                F(x2)
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
 F(x1)        C7(x1)          F(x2)
Please don't take my sunshine away

Repeat the pattern for the rest of the song...

I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me and love another,
You'll regret it all some day:

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
Please don't take my sunshine away

You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But not you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all of my dreams:

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
Please don't take my sunshine away

In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me
When I awake my poor heart pains.
So when you come back and make me happy
I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame.

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
Please don't take my sunshine away
