Sunny Skies
I havent been able to find this tab anywhere on the internet.
I guess nobody is stupid (or autistic) enough to try and make it out note for note
(especially the ending). But here it is anyway :-)
The ending is really only the same two chords, but the bass is heavily
syncopated and needs some rehearsing!
Enjoy!

Sunny skies sleeps in the morning.
Amaj7 E7sus4
He doesn't know when to rise.
Amaj7 E7sus4
He closes his weary eyes upon
Amaj7 E7sus4
the day, look at him yawning,
Amaj7 E7sus4
throwing his morning hours
Amaj7 E7sus4
away He knows how to ease down
Amaj7 E7sus4 Amaj7
slowly Everything is fine in the end
E7sus4
And you will be pleased to
Amaj7 E7sus4
know that Sunny Skies hasn't a friend.
Amaj7 E7sus4
Sunny skies weeps in the ev'nin'.
Amaj7 E7sus4
It doesn't much matter why
Amaj7 E7sus4
I guess he just has to cry from time to
Amaj7 E7sus4
time Everyone's leavin'
Amaj7 E7sus4
and Sunny skies has to stay
Amaj7 E7sus4
behind Still he knows how to ease down
Amaj7 E7sus4
slowly Everything is fine in the
Amaj7 E7sus4
end. And you will be pleased to
Amaj7 E7sus4
know that Sunny Skies hasn't a friend.
Amaj7 E7sus4
Sunny skies sleeps in the morning.
Amaj7 E7sus4
He doesn't know when to rise
Amaj7 E7sus4
He closes his weary eyes upon the
Amaj7 E7sus4 Amaj7
day and throws it all (tab) away.

1) Looking at the snow and trees that grow outside my win-dow.
2) Looking at the things that pass me by.
3) Wondering if where I've been is worth the things I've been through?
