"The Sun Is Shining" by Michael Giles, from the Giles, Giles and Fripp album Bass tabbed and chords added by Christopher Heckman using Seventh String's Transcribe! program Usual disclaimor: This is the arranger's interpretation of the song. It may be used for learning and playing. Copies cannot be used for profit. The bass and Nicky Hopkin's piano are what drive this song. Included are the bassline and the chords. There isn't actually much guitar in this song. Note that the timing is not indicated by the spacing; consult the song for rhythm. Also, lower case letters represent single notes, and upper case letters represent chords. A 'g' above or below a note indicates a ghost note (very short duration).
