THIS IS A VERY TRADITIONAL 1 - 4- 5 SONG
YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE
The other [A] night, dear, as I lay [A] sleeping, I dreamed I [A] held you, in my [E] arms. When I [A] awoke, dear, [A7] I was mis- [D] -taken, so I [A] hung my [E] head and I [A] cried
[ CHORUS ]
RED RIVER VALLEY - - - - - From this [A] valley they [E] say you are [A] going. I we will [A] miss your bright eyes and sweet [E] smile. For they [A] say you are [A7] taking the [D] sunshine, that has [A] brightened our [E] pathway a [A] while
Come and [A] sit by my [E] side if you [A] love me, do not [A] hasten to bid me [E] adieu. But re- [A] -member the [A7] Red River [D] Valley, and the [A] cowboy who [E] loved you so [A] true
[ CHORUS ] - - - - - You are my [A] sunshine. My only sunshine. You make me [D] happy when skies are [A] gray. You'll never [D] know, dear, how much I [A] love you. Please don't [A] take my [E] sunshine [A] away
SCROLL DOWN HERE
Won't you [A] think of the [E] valley you're [A] leaving. oh, how [A] lonely, how sad it will [E] be? Oh, [A] think of the [A7] fond heart you're [D] breaking, and the [A] grief you are [E] causing to [A]me
As you [A] go to your [E] home by the [A] ocean. May you [A] never forget these sweet [E] hours that we [A] spent in the [A7] Red River [D] Valley, and the [A] love we ex- [E] -changed mid the [A] flowers.
[ CHORUS ]
Come and [A] sit by my [E] side if you [A] love me. Do not [A] hasten to bid me [E] adieu. But re- [A] -member the [A7] Red River [D] Valley, and the [A] cowboy who [E] loved you so [A] true
[ CHORUS ] - - - - - You are my [A] sunshine. My only sunshine. You make me [D] happy when skies are [A] gray. You'll never [D] know, dear, how much I [A] love you. Please don't [A] take my [E] sunshine [A] away
- - - - Please don't [A] take my [E] sunshine [A] away. [E A]
RED RIVER VALLEY 1879 |
FROM THIS VALLEY THEY SAY
YOU ARE GOING.
WE WILL MISS YOUR BRIGHT EYES
AND SWEET SMILE.
FOR THEY SAY YOU ARE
TAKING THE SUNSHINE,
WHICH HAS BRIGHTENED
OUR PATHWAY AWHILE.
CHORUS
COME AND SIT BY MY SIDE IF YOU LOVE ME.
DO NOT HASTEN TO BID ME ADIEU.
BUT REMEMBER THE RED RIVER VALLEY,
AND THE ONE
WHO HAS LOVED YOU SO TRUE.
DO YOU THINK OF THE VALLEY
YOU’RE LEAVING?
OH, HOW LONELY AND SAD IT WILL BE.
DO YOU THINK OF THE KIND HEARTS
YOU’RE BREAKING,
AND THE GRIEF YOU ARE CAUSING TO ME?
REPEAT CHORUS
THEY WILL BURY ME
WHERE YOU HAVE WANDERED,
NEAR THE HILLS
WHERE THE DAFFODILS GROW.
WHEN YOU’RE GONE
FROM THE RED RIVER VALLEY,
I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT YOU I KNOW.
REPEAT CHORUS
