is an updated version of the tab done for this song by
Michael Smith .  I have taken his tab
and made "a few small repairs" (i.e., changed a few chords,
fixed a couple of spelling errors, and added the chords to the
last two choruses and the ending).


sunny came home
by: shawn colvin & john leventhal
CD: a few small repairs

Bm         A           G        F#m
sunny came home to her favorite room
Bm        A           D       A
sunny sat down in the kitchen
E/G#         A          G      F#m
she opened a book and a box of tools
Em         Bm          G
sunny came home with a mission
G        D       A       Em   Em/A       D       A    Em
she says days go by  i'm hypnotized  i'm walking on a wire
  D        A        Em      Bm    E/G#  A          Gmaj7
I close my eyes and fly out of my mind    into the fire

(solo like intro)

Bm         A           D       A     Bm
sunny came home with a list of names
             A            D         F#m  G
she didn't beleive in transcendence
                    A           Bm         A/C#
and it's time for a few small repairs she said
Em         Bm          G
sunny came home with a vengeance
         D       A    Em         Em/A     D       A    Em
she says days go by i don't know why  i'm walking on a wire
  D        A        Em      Bm    E/G#  A          Gmaj7
i close my eyes and fly out of my mind    into the fire
Bm      F#m      Bm/G    A/G
get the kids and bring a sweater
Bm     F#m    Bm/G    A/G
dry is good,  wind is better
Bm        F#m       Bm/G   A/G
count the years you always knew it
Bm       F#m        Bm/G   A/G
strike a match,  go on and do it

   D       A      Em   Em/A       D       A    Em
oh days go by i'm hypnotized  i'm walking on a wire
  D        A        Em      Em/A  D       A      Em
i close my eyes and fly out of my mind  into the fire
   D         A       Em      Em/A
oh light the sky and hold on tight
    D        A       Em
the world is burning down
      D         A      Em      Bm      E/G#   A
she's out there on her own and she's alright
           Gmaj7  Bm/G#  Bm  Bm/G#
sunny came home
           Bm    A  G  A

Bm    A  G  A

Em     G   Bm  F#m  A  E  G     Bm
