      Absolutely, with this quarantine, I really wanted to provide a good sing along for all levels. This is a good opportunity for beginners to pick up some foundational techniques, while also learning something recognizable. I have another beginner-intermediate level tune coming this weekend - Elvis Presley's "Lover Doll."

    The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
    I dreamed I held you in my arms
    But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
    So I hung my head and I cried.
    You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
    You make me happy when skies are gray
    You'll never know dear, how much I love you
    Please don't take my sunshine away
    I'll always love you and make you happy,
    If you will only say the same.
    But if you leave me and love another,
    You'll regret it all some day:
    You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
    You make me happy when skies are gray
    You'll never know dear, how much I love you
    Please don't take my sunshine away
    You told me once, dear, you really loved me
    And no one else could come between.
    But not you've left me and love another;
    You have shattered all of my dreams:
    You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
    You make me happy when skies are gray
    You'll never know dear, how much I love you
    Please don't take my sunshine away
    In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me
    When I awake my poor heart pains.
    So when you come back and make me happy
    I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame.
    You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
    You make me happy when skies are gray
    You'll never know dear, how much I love you
    Please don't take my sunshine away

She got me a morse code bracelet saying "You are my sunshine," and I got her a small music box with the medley.

      @BlkHwkDwn63 2 года назад +1

      @@Janeseakanesi I keep at it and I can struggle threw the picking of the melody now, I added a few pull offs which for some reason made it seem easier. I play the melody at the beginning and then twice at the end, once with signing (I found that kinda makes it easier too, helps me remember the way it should go).
      I strum this completely different than him... I pick the A chord and strum down with the back of my fingers and then pick the D chord and strum up with my thumb. It sounds pretty cool. It's different, I changed the words too 😂 I'm a beginner and I couldn't do that to this beautiful song 😂😇
