Good Morning, Sunshine…. “Is it?” he asked

Good Morning, Sunshine…. “Is it?” he asked


You will find “good morning, sunshine” on the
12 infinities” album

Good MOrning Sunshine

A happy song designed to wake up your friend gently and eventually to have him / her wide awake and happy to be so. The song is also an excuse to play these rocky chords the way I do.  Simple E, A, E, A, F#m, B, E verses. I wanted the chorus to be different so I used the continuous progression of falling chords, each a natural after the prior until it needed resolving on the B7 to the E. It worked nicely.  The funny part is that the opening clicking tick-tock sound and the chirping birds is me making noises into a long vacuum cleaner hose with its other end at the microphone. This IS fun! I use the song to open the "12 infinities" album and introduce me to you.

The song's photo is my son, Jamie who is not a morning person. Here, he had just sat down beside me at about 10 AM one beautiful morning and I doubt he could see me yet or care if I spoke.

 

Good Morning, Sunshine

Fade in   E…

E                                      A
Good Morning,             Sunshine
A                                      E
It's good to see you       again
E                                      F#m
I hope that you’re         feeling fine
I see that you are...
B                                           E
Shall we make our day begin?
Let’s make our...

 I feel that soft                     morning air
Today, the sky seems         extra blue
There's not a cloud             anywhere
No one's here, just             me and you

 I feel lazy                         here in bed
Time to rise and shine, they say
I want a minute             here instead
Before we go out           today

C#m                           A
Good morning, sunshine
F#m                        D
Good morning, baby
Bm                          G
Good morning, sunshine
B7                                        E
Honey Bear, she's lying there

Lately, have I                 shown you
That I love you             with a kiss?
It's a little                      thing we do.
A moment we will never miss.

Every morning,             Sunshine
I fall in love with you   and when
We give the day             a little time.
Tomorrow, we do it all again.
