Ode to Joy (with audio)

-1 3 -3 -3 -4 -4 -3 -4 -3 3 3

The other night dear, as I- lay– sleeping

3 -3 -4 4 6 -5 4 -4 -4

I dreamed I held you in my– arms

3 -3 -4 4 4 6 6 -5 -5 -4 -3 3

But when I— woke, dear, I was mis-tak—en

3 -3 -4 4 -4 -3 -3 -4 3

So I hung my– head and I cried.

-1 3 -3 -3 -4 -4 -4 -3 -3 -4 -3 3 3

You are my sun—shine, my— on-ly— sunshine

3 3 -3 -4 4 -4 6 6 -5 6 -4

You make me hap—py when skies are gray

3 -3 -4 4 6 6 -5 -5 -4 -3 3

You’ll never know dear, how much I love- you

3 -3 -4 -4 -3 -3 -4 -3 3

Please don’t take my sunshine a—-way

-1 3 -3 -3 -4 -4 -4 -3 -4 -3 3 3

I’ll always love- you and make you– happy,

-2 3 -3 -4 4 6 -5 4 4 -4 -4

If you- will only say- the- same.

3 3 -3 -4 4 -5 6 6 -5 -5 -4 -3 3

But if– you leave me– and love an-oth—er,

3 -3 -4 4 -4 -3 3 -3 3

You’ll regret- it all- some day:

-1 <-2 3 -3 -3 -4 -4 -4 -3 -3 -4 -3 3 3

You are– my sun–shine, my— on—-ly sunshine

3 3 -3 -4 4 6 6 -5 6 -3 -4

You make me happy when skies are gray-

3 -3 -4 4 6 6 -5 -5 -5 -4 -3 3

You’ll never know dear, how- much I love- you

3 -3 -4 -4 -3 -3 -3 -4 -3 3

Please don’t take my– sunshine a—-way

-1 2 3 -3 -4 -4 -4 -3 -4 -3 3 3

You told me once, dear, you really– loved me

3 -3 -4 4 6 -5 4 -4 -4

And no one else could come be—tween.

3 -3 -4 4 4 6 6 -5 -5 -4 -3 3

But now you’ve left me to love an-oth—er;

3 -3 -4 4 -4 -3 -3 -4 3

You have shattered all of my dreams:

-1 3 -3 -3 -4 -4 -4 -3 -3 -4 -3 3 3

You are my sun—shine, my— on-ly— sunshine

3 3 -3 -4 4 -4 6 6 -5 6 -4

You make me hap—py when skies are gray

3 -3 -4 4 6 6 -5 -5 -4 -3 3

You’ll never know dear, how much I love- you

3 -3 -4 -4 -3 -3 -4 -3 3

Please don’t take my sunshine a—-way

-1 3 -3 -3 -4 -4 -4 -3 -4 -3 3 3

In all my dreams, dear, you seem to— leave me

-2 3 -3 -4 4 6 -5 4 4 -4 -4

When I— awake my poor heart pains.

3 3 -3 -4 4 -5 6 6 -5 -5 -4 -3 3

So won’t you come back and make me hap—py

3 -3 -4 4 -4 -3 3 -3 3

I’ll forgive dear, I’ll take all the blame.

-1 <-2 3 -3 -3 -4 -4 -4 -3 -3 -4 -3 3 3

You are– my sun–shine, my— on—-ly sunshine

3 3 -3 -4 4 6 6 -5 6 -3 -4

You make me happy when skies are gray-

3 -3 -4 4 6 6 -5 -5 -5 -4 -3 3

You’ll never know dear, how- much I love- you

3 -3 -4 -4 -3 -3 -3 -4 -3 3

Please don’t take my– sunshine a—-way
