Sarah Vaughan did this song on her "Sarah + 2" album with Barney Kessel on guitar.

I think I've captured most of Barney's chords.

Verse 1

[F13] [F7]

When Sunny gets blue,

[Ab13] [Ab7]

Her eyes get gray and cloudy,

[Bbmaj7] [Cm7] [Dm7] [Dbdim]

Then the rain begins to fall.

[Ebmaj7] [Ab6add9] [Ab6]

Pitter patter, pitter patter,

[Bbmaj7] [Dm7] [Dbm7] [Cm7]

Love is gone, so what can matter?

[F6add9] [F6] [Dm7-5] [G7+5] [G7]

No sweet lover man comes to call.

Verse 2

[F13] [F7] [Cm7] [Dbm7]

When Sunny gets blue,

[Dm7] [Ebm7] [Ab6add9] [Ab6]

She breathes a sigh of sadness,

[Bbmaj7] [Cm7] [Dm7] [Bbadd9] [Bbmaj7] [Bb] (6)

Like the wind that stirs the trees.

[Ebmaj7] [Ebm7]

Wind that sets the leaves to swayin',

[Dm7] [Dbm7] [Gb7]

like some violins are playin'

[Cm7] [F13] [Cm6add9] [Cm6] Ab9add6 [Ab9] (10)

Weird and haunting melodies.

Bridge

[Gmaj7] (10) [Am7] [Bm7] [Fm6] (x8676x)

People used to love to hear her laugh, see her smile.

[Am7] [D9] [Gmaj7] [G6] [Gb6] [F6] [E6] [Eb6] [D6]

That's how she got her name.

[Gm7] [C9] [Fmaj7] [Dm7]

Since that sad affair, she's lost her smile, changed her style.

Fmaj7 (x8-10-10-10-12 x8-10-9-10-8 x87555) Gm7

Somehow she's not

F9add6 F9

the same.

Verse 3

[Db9] [C9] [C9] [Db9]

But memories will fade,

[D9] [Eb9] [Ab6add9] [Ab6]

And pretty dreams will rise up,

[Bbmaj7] [Cm7] [Dm7] [Dbdim]

Where her other dreams fell through.

[Ebmaj7] [Ebm7]

Hurry new love, hurry here,

[Dm7] [Dbm7]

To kiss away each lonely tear,

[Cm7] [F13] [Bb6add9] (65556x)

And hold her near when Sunny gets blue.

F9add6 F9 Ab9add6 Ab9

F9add6 (xx0011) Gmaj7 (3)

That's how she got her name.

[Gm7] [C9] [C7-9] [Fmaj7] (1) [Dm7]

Since that sad affair, she's lost her smile, changed her style.

Gm7 Cm7 (xx-10-886) Cm7+7 (9886) Cm9 Cm7 F9add6 F9

Somehow she's not the same.
