Diatonic Harmonica Tabs

-2  +4  -4 +5    +5   +5 -4 +5  +4   +4
The oth-er night dear, as I lay slee-ping
+4 -4    +5 -5  -6  +6 -5 +5
I dreamed I held you in my arms
+4  -4  +5 -5     -6   -6 +6 -5   +5  +4
But when I awoke, dear, I was mis-tak-en
+4 -4 +5  -5 -4    -4 +5 +4
So I bowed my head and I cried.

[REFRAIN]
-2  +4 -4  +5  +5    +5 -4 +5 +4  +4
You are my sun-shine my on-ly sun-shine
+4  -4   +5 -5  -6 -6   +6   -5   +5
You make me hap-py when skies are gray
+4     -4  +5 -5   -6    -6  +6  -5 +5   +4
You'll nev-er know dear, how much I love you
+4     -4    +5  -5 -4   -4   +5 +4
Please don't take my sun-shine a-way.

-2   +4 -4   +5    +5  +5  -4  +5   +4  +4
I've al-ways loved you and made you hap-py.
+4  -4 +5    -5   -6    +6  -5  +5
And no-thing else could come be-tween
+4  -4  +5     -5  -6 -6  +6  -5  +5  +4
But now you've left me to love an-oth-er,
+4  -4    +5  -5    -4 -4  +5  +4
You have shat-tered all of my dreams:

[REFRAIN]
-2  +4 -4  +5  +5    +5 -4 +5 +4  +4
You are my sun-shine my on-ly sun-shine
+4  -4   +5 -5  -6 -6   +6   -5   +5
You make me hap-py when skies are gray
+4     -4  +5 -5   -6    -6  +6  -5 +5   +4
You'll nev-er know dear, how much I love you
+4     -4    +5  -5 -4   -4   +5 +4
Please don't take my sun-shine a-way.
