You Are My Sunshine

by Johnny Cash

The other night dear as I lay sleeping

G7          C              G

I dreamed I held you in my arms

G7          C                  G

But when I awoke dear I was mistaken

             D7       G

So I hung my head and cried

You are my sunshine my only sunshine

G7          C                    G

You make me happy when skies are gray

G7           C                    G

You'll never know dear how much I love you

                  D7           G

Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you and make you happy

G7          C            G

If you will only say the same

G7         C                   G

But if you leave me and love another

              D7          G

You'll regret it all some day

repeat #2

You told me once dear you really loved me

G7         C                 G

And no one else could come between

G7             C                  G

But now you've left me and love another

                   D7        G

You have shattered all of my dreams

repeat #2
