[Intro]
B E B   B E B

[Verse 1]
    B         E         B
You think I’m on my way down,
            C#m
down to the ground
            F#
Back to the city streets
    B      E             B
But all my troubles will pass,
               C#m
now I’m off my ares
            F#
Back to the money jungle
B       E            B
Daytime seems such a bore,
         C#m
driving around
            F#
Keeping the engine running
B          E          B
Night time I’m on the town,
           C#m
searching around
            F#
Keeping the city loaded,
B       E       B
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo,
            C#m
Doo Doo Doo Doo
        F#
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo

Sunshine pushing my way,
         Dm
opens my day

Making the night time easy

I can’t take the rain or thunder
    Dm7           F              C
The snow makes me feel so cold inside
     Dm
It’s surely got to be
             C
some king of wonder

Your sunshine brings
               F    G
me happiness inside

How to play Sunshine: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Sunshine by Eddie Hardin on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Sunshine by Eddie Hardin is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 10 chords in all: B, E, C#m, F#, C, F, Dm, G, Dm7 and D.

Listen for B – E – B – C#m (VII – III – VII – ♭ii in C major): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: on guitar, B, C#m, F# and F need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
