                             Sunday Morning - Maroon 5
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is probably my favorite song by Maroon 5.  It's so much fun to play on the piano,
so I decided to transcribe it to guitar.  It sounds great, so learn it, play it, and
enjoy!

I've broken it down in 2 sections:  the piano chords transcribed to guitar and the
electric guitar riffs.

Tuning: Standard

Intro:
Dm9    G13    Cmaj9 (Fill) Dm7     G7    Cmaj7  (Fill)

Verse 1:
Dm9      G13            Cmaj9
  Sunday morning, rain is falling,
Dm7         G7            Cmaj7
  steal some covers, share some skin.
Dm9        G13              Cmaj9
  Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable,
  Dm7               G7               Cmaj7
you twist to fit the mold that I am in.
    Dm7                G13          Cmaj9
But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do,
            Dm7            G7               Cmaj7
and I would gladly hit the road, get up and go if I knew,
     Dm9              G13             Cmaj9
that someday it would lead me back to you,
     Dm7              G7             Cmaj7
that someday it would lead me back to you.

Chorus:
            Dm7    G7  Cmaj7
That may be all... I... need,
                   Dm7    G7  Cmaj7
In darkness she is all... I... see.
                   Dm7      G7     Cmaj7
Come and rest your bones... with... me.
                       Dm7
Driving slow on Sunday morning,
     G7       Cmaj7
and I never want to leave.

Verse 2:
Dm9      G7#5              Cmaj7
  Fingers trace your every outline, oh yeah, yeah,
Dm7     G7               Cmaj7
  paint a picture with my hands.
Dm9        G13                 Cmaj9
  Back and forth, we sway like branches in a storm,
             Dm7              G7             Cmaj7
  change the weather, still together when it ends.

*Interlude*

Verse 3:
  Dm9                G7#5          Cmaj7
But things just get so crazy, living life gets hard to do,
        Dm7           G7               Cmaj7
Sunday morning, rain is falling, and I'm calling out to you.
       Dm9            G13             Cmaj9
Singing someday it'll bring me back to you,
      Dm7              G7             Cmaj7
find a way to bring myself back home to you.

Outro:

Repeat Dm7  G7  Cmaj7 as many times as you want.

Guitar
_______

The verse guitar in this song pretty quiet so all you can hear are the high notes, and
it helps that it's accentuated by the wah effect.

The guitar starts at "Clouds are shrouding us..." and the riff starts at the same time
the Dm9 chord for the piano is played and it repeats until the chourus.


Play with slight distortion & wah effect

Yeah, that's it!  I hope you guys enjoy Maroon 5 just as much as I do!
Like I said: learn it, play it, and enjoy!

P.S. In my opinion, it sounds great acoustically!  So try that out if you get a chance!
