You are My Sunshine

Writer Unknown: Recorded by Paul Rice and Jimmie Davis

C C7
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
F C
You make me happy when skies are gray
F C
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you

G7 C
Please don't take my sunshine away
C C7
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 C7
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
F C
You make me happy when skies are gray
F C
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
G7 C
Please don't take my sunshine away

You Are My Sunshine- (Adapted Lyrics by Rebecca Jones)

C C7

You are my alphabet, my only alphabet

F C
You make me happy when rhymes are made
F C
You’ll never know, sounds, how much I love you
G7 C
Please don’t take my alphabet away
C C7
The other night, class, As I lay sleeping
F C
I dreamed of uppercase letters
F C
When I awoke, kids, I was so happy
G7 C
And I waved my hands and cheered

Repeat Chorus
C C7
You once read to me for my favorite story
F C
And I got to sound the words in between
F C
But now we’ve finished, onto another
G7 C
And now I can drift off to dream
