Hey folks party Marnie here easy [N] guitar tunes
I've got another great classic tune that I think everybody in the world knows and it's also the first song that I learned
On guitar it's called you are my sunshine now
I know it kind of sounds hokey, but you know what it is a really great tune if you want people to sing around a campfire
Everybody knows the course to this song.
So I thought I would add it to my channel.
It's also been it's also been
Requested by a bunch of my subscribers as well.
So I thought I would put it up there
Sunshine I did the homework on it.
I believe it was written by a fellow by the name of Oliver hood
It's been done millions of times millions of keys millions of artists
So I just kind of picked my chord choice, which is this this chord choice here.
It's only [C] three chords in it.
They are D
[D]
[G] There's a G
[A] There's an a
[D] Again, they're D
[G] G
[A]
and a
[F#] Lot of times in this particular [G] chord here after this particular song here I actually use the G the G at nine
So it's [Em] your baby on the bottom string in the third fret and your third finger on the second from the bottom [G] in the third fret
There's your regular G.
There's a G at nine
Just [E] saying, you know
[D] Kind of a hokey strum.
I just kind of what I do is kind of pluck the root note in each chord
So the D chord I kind of pluck it before the the up downs
On the D string itself, which is the fourth string from the bottom
From the I'm sorry for string.
Yeah for string from the bottom [G] and then the G the root note is the top string is E
and then [A] in the a
It's the second string from the top which is the a string
[D]
[F#] And that's basically it's just a nice [D] pokey strum
[G]
That's kind of slowing it down a little bit
[A] And you don't have to hit the root note it just kind of what I do so I wanted to make sure you guys [D] knew
About it.
You can definitely just strum through these until you get comfortable with doing that as well
[F#] All right.
You are my sunshine the first tune party Marty ever learned.
Let's give this one a go.
[D] Hope you guys enjoy it
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You [G] make me happy
With [D] skies of rain
[G] You'll never know dear
[D] How much I love you
Please don't take [A] my [D] sunshine away
the other night did
while I lay sleeping I
[G] dreamed I held you
[D] here in my arm
when [G] I
Dreamed I [D] was mistaken
And I [A] Right
[D]
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You [G] make me happy
With [D] skies of rain
[G] You'll never know dear how [D] much I love you
Please don't take [A] my sunshine [D] away
[E] [D] I'll always love you and make you happy
If you [G] will
[D] Say the same
But if [G] you leave me to [D] love another
You'll regret [A] it all [D] someday
You are my sunshine

Please don't [A] take my sunshine [D] away

My only sunshine
