----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunshine - Matt Costa ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: The Count of Monte Cristo Tuning: Standard (Eb) Let me explain the dilemma. This is a wonderful song originally played in by Mr. Costa in the key of Eb. This gives the song its easy laid-back quality. Frankly, tuning every string down a half step is a pain. The song can be played in E, but I personally found it to stiffen the mood. Additionally, I can't sing the high part that way. Let me explain my solution. You can "cheat" with the usage of a capo. Using a couple of basic chords, you can play the song in its original key without tuning down. I have including both alternatives. ALTERNATIVE ONE - Capo 8 This is a novice-inclined. Very high on the neck, but uses the basic "worship song" chords. Chords listed as relative to the capo. G Dsus C2 Em7 e|--3--- --3-- --3-- --3-- B|--3--- --3-- --3-- --3-- G|--0--- --2-- --0-- --0-- D|--0--- --0-- --2-- --2-- A|--2--- --0-- --3-- --2-- E|--3--- --X-- --0-- --0-- G Dsus C2 Dsus Sunshine, I'd really like to tell you G Dsus Em7 C2 G Oh my sunshine, even though your skies are blue, Dsus Em7 C2 You're drying up my bed, how can I get any rest now. G Dsus G Sha la la la la la la. Someday, you will get the best of me. Oh, someday, probably when I'm old and grey, I'm lying in my bed. Someday I'll be put to rest. Sha la la la la la la. ALTERNATIVE TWO - Capo 3 This is not as harsh on the guitar, but the chords are a little more involved. Chords listed as relative to the capo. *I suspended some of the chords for feel... I think it makes the song seem brighter or something.

C G C Sha la la la la la la. Someday, you will get the best of me. Oh, someday, probably when I'm old and grey, I'm lying in my bed. Someday I'll be put to rest. Sha la la la la la la. And there 'tis. Any feedback is welcomed and appreciated. Blessings. Cheers. The Count of Monte Cristo
