Biografía:
Costa nació en Huntington Beach (California), en una familia descendiente de emigrantes portugueses. La pasión por la música le llegó cuando debido a una lesión que se produjo en el 2003 practicando skateboard estuvo 18 meses en rehabilitación y la gran cantidad de tiempo que tenía que estar inmóvil la empleaba en componer y grabar canciones con la única ayuda de su guitarra y un radiocassette casero.
Rapidamente sus composiciones empezaron a circular entre su círculo de amistades y en el ámbito de su ciudad natal Huntington Beach

Tabbed by: The Count of Monte Cristo
Tuning: Standard (Eb)
Let me explain the dilemma. This is a wonderful song
originally played in by Mr. Costa in the key of Eb.
This gives the song its easy laid-back quality.
Frankly, tuning every string down a half step is a pain.
The song can be played in E, but I personally found it
to stiffen the mood. Additionally, I can't sing the
high part that way.
Let me explain my solution. You can "cheat" with the
usage of a capo. Using a couple of basic chords, you
can play the song in its original key without tuning down.
I have including both alternatives.
ALTERNATIVE ONE - Capo 8
This is a novice-inclined. Very high on the neck,
but uses the basic "worship song" chords.
Chords listed as relative to the capo.

Sunshine, I'd really like to tell you
G Dsus Em7 C2 G
Oh my sunshine, even though your skies are blue,
Dsus Em7 C2
You're drying up my bed, how can I get any rest now.
G Dsus G
Sha la la la la la la.
Someday, you will get the best of me.
Oh, someday, probably when I'm old and grey,
I'm lying in my bed. Someday I'll be put to rest.
Sha la la la la la la.
ALTERNATIVE TWO - Capo 3
This is not as harsh on the guitar, but the chords
are a little more involved.
Chords listed as relative to the capo.
*I suspended some of the chords for feel... I think it
makes the song seem brighter or something.
