"Sunshine"(Matthews)
From "The Sunshine EP" (2017)
Capo on 5th fret for studio version.
[verse]:
N.C.
Today I turned from heathen to believer,
N.C.
As I rode the crimson gypsy line.
N.C.
As the sun appeared with seven sisters,
N.C.
Thank the lord for the Sunshine!
[verse}:
So I fAell into a silver carriagA/DeA  
With those voices ringing in my E7ears
Then the sAun dialled "save me!" on the A/DradiAo
Thank the AlorE7d for the SunshAine!
[chorus]:
I'd lAay down low But it A/Dkills me every tAime
AShivers down my sE7pine,
it's the F#mmissing golden afterglow of lDove cried Romeo,
Thank the AlorE7d for the SunshAine!
[verse]:
Though the Amoon is such an old romanA/DticA  
He can move the blues right from your E7eyes
ABut when the night sings “kill me CassinA/Dova!A”
Thank the AlorE7d for the sunrAise.
[verse]:
And if you kAissed me right here where we're standA/DingA  
Would I dream in colour or in rE7hyme?
AWell all I know is baby, I'm aA/Dwake Anow.
Thank the AlorE7d for the SunsAhine!
[chorus]:
I'd lAay down low but it A/Dkills me every tAime
Shivers down my spE7ine,
“It's the F#mmissing golden afterglow of lDove” cried Romeo
Thank the AloE7rd for the SunshAine!
[middle eight]:
F#mI was cold when you were dAancing
F#mYou threw your arms around the Asky
F#mOoo La La, God it rBains so hard
Oh Dmon amour...
DIt was you that I've been waiting fAor!
[chorus]:
ALay down low but it kA/Dills me every tAime
AShivers down my spE7ine
“It's the mF#missing golden afterglow of lDove” cried Romeo
Thank the AlorE7d for the SunshAine!
AI'd lay down low but it A/Dkills me every tAime
AShivers down my sE7pine
'It's the F#mmissing golden afterglow of lDove' cried Romeo,
Thank the AloE7rd for the SunshAine!
