Bb             F
I dreamed I held you in my arms
        Bb                   F
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
     F       C7       F
So I hung my head and cried

[Chorus]
           F                 F
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
            Bb                   F
You make me happy when skies are grey
             Bb                     F
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
             F       C7        F
Please don't take my sunshine away

[Verse 2]
          F                       F
I'll always love you and make you happy
          Bb             F
If you will only say the same
           Bb                F
But if you leave me to love another
         F      C7       F
You'll regret it all someday

[Chorus]
           F                 F
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
            Bb                   F
You make me happy when skies are grey
             Bb                     F
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
             F       C7
Please don't take my sunshine
Bb         C7        F
 Oh-oh, my sunshine away
