Bring Me Sunshine was written in 1968 by Arthur Kent - Sylvia Dee and recorded by: Skeeter Davis, Jack Green "Statue Of A Fool" album -1969, Brenda Lee - 1969, Willie Nelson - 1969, Chet Atkins - 1970. Folks in the UK affectionately remember this tune from the Morecambe and Wise Comedy Show that was very popular on the BBC. Bring Me Sunshine Arthur Kent - Sylvia Dee Bring me sunshine, in your smile. Bring me laughter, all the while. In this world where we live, there should be more happiness. So much joy you can give to each brand new bright tomorrow! Make me happy, through the years. Never bring me any tears. Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above, Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love. Bring me sunshine in your eyes, Bring me rainbows from the skies. Life's too short to be spent having anything but fun. We can be so content if we gather little sunbeams. Be light hearted, all day long. Keep me singing happy songs. Let your arms be as warm as the sun from above, Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love. Bring me sunshine, in your smile. Bring me laughter, all the while. In this world where we live, there should be more happiness. So much joy you can give to each brand new bright tomorrow! Make me happy, through the years. Never bring me any tears. Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above, Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love. This arrangement is inspired by the recording by Chet Atkins on his 1970 Gem "Yestergroovin' ". A casual comparison might might suggest that the first pass is copied from Chet's version. I actually transcribed Chet's version in December, 2002, but never added all of the parts he had from the recording. Chet plays the first chorus as straight thumblick and then he modulates to another key and plays 3 more choruses. I've followed a similar format. The first chorus is in A and is a thumblick arrangement. We modulate to Bb and that chorus is a chord solo. We then modulate to F for two choruses, the first, mostly a single string solo, and the second finishes with a thumblick arrangement. Although I've added bass and percussion parts, this arrangement can be played solo, although the third chorus probably can be omitted. I've given chord names of the Chorus in A, for those of you that wish to write a BIAB backing. c0w %).38 %).38Electric Guitarc 05:?DBassric Guitar c0 %).38 %).38Rhythm Guitarrcb(0#!*"'/+48888Percussionitar001103110000=1077>7:7<87F300P042S0/00000000000001:@4/111103'::::H<1000010?0020000000008V0000000Page &p / &n&c&2&t &c&6&s &r&3&m &r&3&t - &3&s
