Version 1 Version 2 Version 6Song: You are the sunshine of my life Artist: Stevie Wonder Composer: Stevie Wonder Album: Talking book Tabbed by DJ 14th Mar 2016 I've tried to make an easy as possible guitar tab of this song, so I'm not really trying to create a definitive version aimed at all musicians. The voicings are the best combination I could come up with, hopefully, none of the shapes are too much of a challenge for a reasonably experienced guitarist. NOTE: On guitar the Bm11/E and Cm11/F could be substituted by E7sus4 and F7sus4. I just felt that the m11 chords just worked slightly better in those chorus progressions, it's a very subtle difference. KEYBOARD PLAYERS: To be totally accurate the D#/G should be F#13b9(no7) and the E/Ab should be G13b9(no7), but these don't sound as good on guitar, For keyboard players, or guitarists who don't like capos, use the transpose function set to [+2} to view the song in Stevie's key. CAPO: 2nd fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of B) Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo: Amaj9 = x06600 E7 = 022130 F# = 244322 Bb = x13331 E7+ = 030110 E7sus4 = 020200 B = x24442 F/Eb = xx1211 A = x02220 Amaj7 = x02120 F#m7 = 242222 Dm7 = xx0211 E/D = xx0454 D6 = xx0432 B7 = x24242 E/Ab = xx6454 C#m7 = x46454 D/E = xx2232 E = 022100 Cm7 = x35343 D#/G = xx5343 G#m11 = 424422 F7sus4 = 131311 Cm11/F = 111311 Bm7 = x24232 C#7 = x46464 F7 = 131211 Bbmaj7 = x13231 Bm11/E = 024232 Please select a star rating for this tab, many thanks ===================================================================== [Intro] Amaj9 E7+ ||: / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / :||[x2] [Chorus] A E/D C#m7 D#/G You are the sunshine of my life, Bm7 Bm11/E A Bm7 E7 That's why I'll always be around------, A E/D C#m7 D#/G You are the apple of my eye, Bm7 Bm11/E A Bm7 E7sus4 Forever you'll stay in my heart [Verse 1] Amaj7 D6 D/E Amaj7 D6 D/E I feel like this is the be-------ginning, Amaj7 D6 D/E G#m11 C#7 Though I've loved you for a million years, F# B C#7 F#m7 And if I thought our love was ...ending, B B7 E E7sus4 E7 I'd find myself drowning in my own tears, woh - oo, oh - oh!
