You Are My Sunshine (Chords and Lyrics)
I want to work out some new lyrics for this to reframe the jealousy and heartbreak. Original version by Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell.
Chords are in brackets (e.g. [G])
Melody is lower case (e.g. c-b-a-g). Double-letter = hold longer.
Tempo and rhythm for each note depends on singer/player.
