Thread Name: Lyr Req: Sunlight (Jesse Colin Young)
Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: SUNLIGHT (Jesse Colin Young)
Mary- Here's how I learned it. Aine, for my voice I prefer starting on E minor, and there are a few minor differences in how I figured it out. In the first phrases of the verses, I alternate between Maj 7 and Maj and Maj 7again. And If I used your key, in the lines that say "That's the way she feels about you" I would play F- G#- C. IMHI (In My Humble Interpretation)! I must put the chords in between the words, which I hate, but I don't know how to get them over the proper syllables. Sorry.
SUNLIGHT
Em- Have you seen the sunlight falling through her Dmaj 7 hair, D- D- Dmaj7 Em- Felt her warm mouth on you in summer's Dmaj7- air, D- D- Dmaj7 Bm- Running in a -A- field of brown, G- Laughing, rolling -Gm- on the ground, D- Smiling as she -E- pulls you down, G- That's the way -A#- she feels a-D-bout you, G- That's the way -A#- she feels a-D-bout you
If your dreams wake you screaming in the night, She can touch your hand and take away your fright Like a tree in the meadow wind, She will bend to take you in, Makes no difference where you've been, That's the way she feels about you, That's the way she feels about you.
D-D-Em-(let the chord ring) If you wake up screaming, D-D-G- ( Ring it again) Scared by what you're dreaming Bm- You know -A- she is -G- there, She -Em- can share, G- You'll know where she feels -A#- about -A- you.
In the morning, wake up rising with the day, She will smileand ask you with her eyes to stay, Like the sunshine warms the sand, She will touch you with her hand, Touching makes you understand, That's the way she feels about you, That's the way she feels about you, That's the way she feels about you. -D on fret 14
As I said, this is only my try at this great song. Aine, I'm really not sure about the middle part that had you stumped. I don't think it's really complete, but I've made it work. I can't express how delighted I am to find a couple of YOUNGBLOODS fans out there. The have been undeservedly forgotten, except "Get Together". BUY ELEPHANT MOUNTAIN. BUY ELEPHANT MOUNTAIN!! It's one of my must-have-if-stranded-on-an-island albums. Thank you guest for this thread. It's taken me a long time to "Get Together" and finish this. You may have heard from Jesse himself. I would almost ;) trade my wife and kids for a CD of "SOUL OF A CITY BOY", currently out of print. Thanks BlueJay
