Transpose chords:
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
The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held
You in my arms
But when I woke, dear
I was mistaken
And I hung my head
and I cried
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

The song is good but I like using Am instead of C7. The rest of the chords are ok. I use a DDUUDU strum pattern

Oh Lebron, where do I even start.. my sweet glorious pookie bear. My honey bunches of bubblegum. My LeKing. You are oh so glorious in each and every way. Your name is sweet to the touch. Your eyes glisten in the sun, akin to gold itself. My life would be nothing without you. You are my reason, Lebron. I love you.

I suggest to use DDD on each chord:) it's much easier to use. Have a fun learning!

tbh i dont think the chords go with the pitch of the song whatsoever. I like to sing when i play my uke and this sounds absolutely horrible. It really just sounds like someone threw some random chords together and added it to the lyrics. Sorry to whoever likes this, but personally, this is not my thing.

The next part is my favorite and you left it out.. “Ive always loved you and made you happy and nothing else could come between. But now you’ve left me to love another you have shattered all of my dreams..”

The fact that C, C7, G, and F are the only chords stated to be in the song, I find it rude that they unexpectedly threw in G7. Who else agrees?

I don't understand why people are praising this as a "great chord chart". As someone below already stated, G7 is unnecessary, but more importantly, the PLACEMENT of the chords is mostly off with the lyrics. Trying singing along with the chords as written, and you'll know what I mean. My uke student struggled with this yesterday and now I have to redo these chords so she can practice the correct way as she sings. Has anyone heard of "Harmonic Rhythm?"

This is a great song, often called, heartwarming, but a close look at the lyrics after the first verse shows that they're better described as “heartbreaking”.

I fingerpick using the pattern C E A G E and it sounds very nice. It was a bit weird on the F chord though, so for the F chord only I use the pattern C E A E C.

Where is the TAB? I have looked at many songs that were supposed to have TAB, but I haven't seen it on any of them.:(

Great song! I play this with my harmonica group and now I can play it on the ukulele!

My grandma is sick and i wanted to sing this to her before she goes because it's her favorite song. Thanks!

For another verse (same strum pattern) there's:
You make me giggle
You make me laugh
With all the funny things you do
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
You make me giggle
You make me laugh
With all the funny things you do
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

This is my favourite song. And I don't know why, even I can play an another hard chord play, still I love this songs

i cried while playing this because i think of phil lester and ughhh. it gets emotional
22 Feb 2018
Since this in the key of C I would be inclined to say that G7 is musicly correct chord.
05 Feb 2018
Great tab! I'm not sure if this is a mistake but I personally like the sound better if you switch chord on "know" rather than on "dear." Other than that, I love it!

The G7 sounds fine as a G and the C7 is totally optional. Other than that its great!
