 Based on D minor chord. Strums something like:
  -- /  (hammer) //  hammer  (3x)
 Through the verse, a Dm is played while walking the bass line down from open d
 string, to c note (on the A string),
 to the b note to open A string rapidly followed by the A7 chord.
 And I wake  up in the morning, pour  some coffee  for my brain
Everyday  is different,  but I  always feel the same.
Everybody  tells me  the world  is in my head  (hand?), yeah!
   (run: -  ----
 But that don*t mean a thing to me cause I*ll never be a man,
   (run: )
 if I don*t have yooou if I don*t have you.
 And I read the morning papers, just like other people do
 Every day it*s different, but there*s nothing really new.
 Sunshine through my window, and it brightens up my day, yeah!
 But that don’t mean a thing to me, cause I*ll never find my way,
 if I don*t have you if I don*t have you
Sunshine  through my window,  and it brightens  up my da-a-a-ay, yeah!

   (run: )  (hold)
 if I don*t have yo-ou
   //  //  //  (hold)violins:
 if I don*t have you. End
