This Banjo TAB for You are my sunshine is in the key of G. It’s easy enough for the beginner banjo player. It uses only a few basic banjo rolls-your forward and alternating thumb roll. As a prerequisite, the major ornamentation you need to know is a pull-off.
You are my Sunshine is a three chord song. All you need to know are your G, C, and D chords.
I wrote the arrangement so that any listener would here the melody clearly.

Some history about You are my Sunshine:
You are my Sunshine was copy written by Jimmy Davis & Charles Mitchell in 1939. Many people don’t know this, but the song wasn’t written by Jimmy Davis, he simply purchased the rights to it. Legend has it a man from Lagrange, GA named Oliver Hood wrote the tune at an earlier point in time. Gene Autry sang this classic song in his movie Back in the Saddle again.
Jimmy Davis of course later went on to become governor of Louisiana. When I was younger, I remember seeing him at bluegrass festivals in GA a time or two.
