[CT #2]
[INTRO]
G       C   G   C  G   D   G  
 
          G
The other night dear as I lay sleeping, 
            C              G
I dreamed I held you in my arms, 
           C                  G
But When I awoke dear I was mistaken 
              D         G
And I hung my head and  cried, 

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

[INSTRUMENTAL]
G       C   G   C  G   D   G  

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

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

[INSTRUMENTAL]
G       C   G   C  G   D   G  

            G
You told me once dear, you really loved me, 
           C                 G
and no one else could come between, 
               C                  G
but now you've left me and love another, 
                   D      G
you have shattered all my dreams, 

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