New "You are my Sunshine"

Post by emotional leper »

Code: Select all

A
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
            D              A
I dreamed I held you in my arms
             D                   A
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
             Em         Am
So I hung my head and I cried.

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

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

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

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

A
You were my sunshine, my only sunshine
            Dm                    Am
You made me happy when skies were gray
             Dm                    Am
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
                   Em        Am
You have shattered all of my dreams:

Am
And now this revolver, and this bottle
          Dm              Am
Will soon erase all of my pains
           Dm                     Am
I can't go on dear, alone without you
                   Em   Am
When my sunshine's gone away.

Original Lyrics:
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 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.

I'll always love you and make you happy
if you will only say the same
but if you leave me to 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
that no one else could come between
but now you've left me and love another
you have shattered all 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.

The original song was done solely with E, A, and D chords. However, Em, Am, and Dm create a somewhat 'depressed' sound. So as the song progresses it gets more 'sad' sounding.

I have recorded it. The problem is, though, is I don't have proper mixing software, and plugging my amp straight into my computer causes some god awful noises. As soon as my W-2s get here, I'm gonna be using my tax return (or atleast about 150 of it) to get some Line 6 recording stuff, so I can do it right.

(My strat sounds like a frickin' synth after I do noise removal with Audacity.)

As soon as I get something that can record without it sounding like crap, I'm gonna start putting it on MySpace and such. My music will be free, until such a time as people like it, and then it will be expensive.

I needs my tax returns, and then you can all get your fill of my voice and my guitar. And if I buy a camcorder...
