Sunny Side of The Street TAB

[Sanban]

Does anyone know of a good Tab or Notation for a finger style version of Sunny Side of the Street?

Thanks.

I've been working it out in A but any key will do. Cheers

Can you/do you use your thumb to fret the 6th string? If so, try it in F. The open strings work out a tad better. Also try a Bflat6 instead of the Gm/IIm.
Think piano rather than Travis. Link to follow if I can find it.

What level of complexity are you looking for? There is a chord melody version here,

in the key of C which goes up to the 12th fret and combines complex chords with a walking bass,

A version here,

is more like Travis picking, and in the same key but using simpler chords.

The key of F works, with the highest note at the 5th fret, as long as you don't mind working from a bar F chord.

I've gone for the key of G but that requires a barred up open G shape at the 7th fret. Some people don't like those.

Thanks Wyllys! I do use my thumb to fret all the time and will try your suggestions.

Great stuff stanron. Much appreciated. I'm basically going to cobble together all the suggestions, put my own slant on it and see what I end up with.

Here's an interesting individual approach:

PS

Be careful not to lose the musicality in favor of the instrument...
