Sunny - Bobby Hebb - Guitar Lesson chords
Start Jamming...
Now welcome to Vanderbilt calm today, we're gonna look at a song that was written by Bobby Hebb in 1963
When he was rebounding from the twin tragedies of JFK's assassination and his brother's murder
Which occurred within about three days of each other?
And he decided that he was not going to have a negative outlook.
He was going to have a sunny outlook
So sunny is one of the most covered tunes in pop music history just to give you an idea
How wide its appeal is it's been covered by people like?
West Montgomery Cher
Nick Cave James Brown and even Leonard Nimoy
So if you're a little bit bored with the same old chords
And you want to pick up a few new ones that you do not have to be a contortionist to play
Take a look at this lesson fun song to play let's get started
[B] [Gm]
[G] [E]
[Am] [F#] [Gm]
[A] [G#]
[Am] [B] [Gm]
[Gm] [Am] [Dm]
[F#m] [D]
[Am] [F#]
[E] [C] Sunny
[F] [Gm]
[Cm] Yesterday my life was filled [G#] with rain
[C] sunny
[B] [Gm]
You started [Cm] me and really ease [G#] my pain
[Am] Now the dark is a [F#] gone [A#] and the bright [Gm] is a [Am] year
My sunny one [Dm]
shines so severe
[A] Sunny [F#] one so true.
[G] I [C] love you
[Em]
[C]
[N] Okay
These chords in this song are relatively easy to play and will sound pretty cool
and some of them you know already and
Some of them you can make by by using chords that you know already what I'm gonna
Do is I'm gonna have chord diagrams under each one so that you can see how they're made all right
The first one is an a minor 7 chord at the fifth fret
Very easy to do you just bar with your ring finger the first the
D G B and E strings and then reach over with either
you know one of these fingers and get that a note at the fifth fret of the sixth string and [Am] get and
[N]
Then the next chord in the verse is a D flat 9
Very similar to that chord, but you've played this chord before believe me
You just bar the first three strings bring this down on the on the D string at the third fret and
bring this down on the
a-string at the fourth fret
[C#]
All right, and then the next [C] one's a c9
Just move this down one fret
[B] Then comes something that sounds complicated.
It's an f6 9 chord, but in [C] fact if you take this c9
And you move all the way up to the [G] eighth fret
You know I mean here's the eighth fret here's a seven
[B] and then you
Take this finger and just move it off the G string and bar that with this finger [G] you get this
Which is an f6 9 and then the only other chord in [N] the verse?
