I havenīt been able to find this tab anywhere on the internet.
I guess nobody is stupid (or autistic) enough to try and make it out note for note
(especially the ending). But here it is anyway :-)
The ending is really only the same two chords, but the bass is heavily
syncopated and needs some rehearsing!
Enjoy!

SUNNY SKIES (James Taylor, 1970)
Capo 3rd fret for original key of C
Bass: E, F#, A [Amaj7] xx212x / Bass: E, F#, B [E7sus4] xx020x
[Amaj7] Sunny skies sleeps in the [E7sus4] morning.
He [Amaj7] doesn't know when to [E7sus4] rise.
He [Amaj7] closes his weary [E7sus4] eyes upon
the [Amaj7] day, look at him [E7sus4] yawning,
[Amaj7] throwing his [E7sus4] morning hours
[Amaj7] away He knows how to [E7sus4] ease down
[Amaj7] slowly [E7sus4] Everything is fine in the [Amaj7] end
And you will be [E7sus4] pleased to
[Amaj7] know that [E7sus4] Sunny Skies hasn't a friend.
[Amaj7] Sunny skies weeps in the [E7sus4] ev'nin'.
It [Amaj7] doesn't much matter [E7sus4] why
I [Amaj7] guess he just has to [E7sus4] cry from time to
[Amaj7] time Everyone's [E7sus4] leavin'
[Amaj7] and Sunny skies [E7sus4] has to stay
[Amaj7] behind Still he knows how to [E7sus4] ease down
[Amaj7] slowly [E7sus4] Everything is fine in the
[Amaj7] end. And you will be [E7sus4] pleased to
[Amaj7] know that [E7sus4] Sunny Skies hasn't a friend.
[Amaj7] Sunny skies sleeps in the [E7sus4] morning.
He [Amaj7] doesn't know when to [E7sus4] rise
He [Amaj7] closes his weary [E7sus4] eyes upon the
[Amaj7] day and [E7sus4] throws it all [Amaj7] (tab) away.

1) Looking at the snow and trees that grow outside my win-dow.
2) Looking at the things that pass me by.
3) Wondering if where I've been is worth the things I've been through?
