LYRICS
Here comes the sun
here comes the sun and I say
it's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
here comes the sun and I say
it's all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun
here comes the sun and I say
it's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun
here comes the sun and I say
it's all right
Here comes the sun
here comes the sun and I say
it's all right

I was in a dark place after my husband had a health diagnosis. Someone gifted me a ukulele and this has pulled me out and made me smile. Learning slowly.

I love that she always has a cute flower in her hair!

I'm really enjoying your tutorials. I am 68 years old and have been learning to play the ukulele for some time. It's a really fun instrument. Through your superb tutorials I have learnt to play "Don't Worry Be Happy", "Stand By Me" and "Somewhere Over The Rainbow". Now comes the big challenge, "Here Comes The Sun". I've not done finger picking before. This is going to take some considerable time but I won't give in! Thank you Cynthia. Playing the ukulele has been invaluable to me during these Covid-19 times.

Thanks so much for what you're doing here, I am 65 and had a stroke about 18 months ago, it's not that bad, lost some coordination in my left hand, but I'm determined to learn this song. Just started learning the uke two months ago. Got to go, time to practice!

Even if I didn’t just buy a ukulele yesterday, I enjoy watching and listing to you play it.

There are a lot of humans on this planet and you have got to be one of the best. Thank you so much for these wonderful tutorials, you are an amazing teacher!

I'm a beginner and I can say that this tutorial is amazing, it seems possible now!!! Thank you

I got a ukulele back in January. I found this video really early on, but it was far too advanced for me. However, I recently got into a slump. I hit my plateau. I play quite often, and I LOVE it, but I wasn't challenging myself. I decided to focus on more challenging fingerpicking. I was playing around one day and I heard that little 2 3 0 3 melody and was reminded of this video! Although I couldn't even play the chorus at full speed back when I found the video many months ago, muscle memory has not failed me! I have now learned the whole song! Thank you so much, Cynthia!

I don’t know if you ever read the comments but I’m having so much fun with your uke tutorials. I’m looking forward to playing this for my dad on his birthday. My sister died nearly 2 years ago and my brother 2 years before that. Your angelic voice and bright smile have brought light into my life again. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for creating content like this! I've had a ukulele for a couple of years and haven't had the money for lessons. You are seriously amazing! Can't wait to learn from you!
