Key: G

Verse 1:
G                             C                  G
I grew up in her arms, to the sound of her sweet voice
    C                                     D
She taught me ‘bout the Bible, and how to make the better choice
Em                           G            D                Em
That south side gray-bricked house held a hundred kinds of truth
C                   G                 D                 G
From garden dirt to gospel hymns, she raised me from my roots

Verse 2:
G                               C                  G
They were just two scared kids, caught in grown-up shoes
      C                           D
Their vows were written young, in someone else's truth
Em             G          D                     Em
But Nana stood behind me, through the storm and strain
C                        D
A nurse with holy hands, who healed more than pain

Chorus:
                C              G
You're still my sunshine, even now you're gone
F#/D                                Em            D
In every note I’m strummin’, you're singin’ right along
C                                    G
I bring flowers out to Yukon, pick a tune beneath the sky
F#/D                              Em              D
And I still feel her spirit every time I close my eyes
                C   G
You're still my sunshine

Verse 3:
G                                         C            G
I ran wild through those summers, with no fences to be found
C                       D
Mama cheered me on, and Nana kept me sound
Em                  G               D                 Em
If you were hurt or broken, she was first to take the call
            C                           D
The kind of love that don’t retire, and never drops the ball

Chorus:
                C              G
You're still my sunshine, even now you're gone
F#/D                                Em            D
In every note I’m strummin’, you're singin’ right along
C                                    G
I bring flowers out to Yukon, pick a tune beneath the sky
F#/D                              Em              D
And I still feel her spirit every time I close my eyes
                C   G
You're still my sunshine

Verse 4:
G                                  C               G
She’d hum while the coffee brewed, sunlight on her face
    C                               D
The kitchen full of laughter, love, and old-time grace
Em              G                D            Em
Bob Ross in the corner, painting happy little trees
          C                 G         F#/D              G
While she moved like Sunday morning — calm and sure and free

Bridge:
             C                           G
I sit by her stone around midday, let my strings do what they do
    F#/D                            Em             D
The flowers say I love you, and the melody says it too
    C                              G
She gave me this old music, I just play it back each week
Am                                F#/D
"You are my sunshine" — still the only song I need

Outro:
                C              G
You're still my sunshine, even now you're gone
   F#/D                             Em            D
In every note I’m strummin’, you're singin’ right along
        C                            G
I bring flowers out to Yukon, pick a tune beneath the sky
F#/D                              Em              D
And I still feel her spirit every time I close my eyes
                C   G             C  G
You're still my sunshine, my only sunshine…
            C           G
And I still love you
