You Are My Sunshine
For my final inquiry post I chose to play a song that I love. Growing up my mom would sing this song to me as I fell asleep, so it felt like a perfect song. I used this simple Youtube video to learn the song.
Song: You Are My Sunshine
This song is really simple and only uses three chords:
- The first chord is C, where you put your ring finger on the 3rd fret of the 1st string
- Second chord is F, where you put your pointer finger on the first fret of the second string, and your middle finger on the 3rd fret of the 4th string.
- Last chord is G, where you put your pointer finger on the 2nd fret of the 3rd string, your middle finger on the 2nd fret of the 1st string, and your ring finger on the 3 fret of the 2nd string
Lyrics and chords:
- C x 4: You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
- F x 4: You make me happy
- C x 4: When skies are gray
- F x 4: You’ll never know, dear,
- C x 4: How much I love you
- C x 2: Please don’t take
- F x 2: My sunshine
- C x2: Away
