YOUR SONG

    C-F-G-F   C                    F       G                    e
1.              It's a little bit funny,        this feeling inside,
a                    C             a            F
    I'm not one of those who can        easily hide.
C                      G           e              a
    I don't have much money, but ,     boy, if I did,
C                  d            F                  G    ~
    I'd buy a big house where,      we both could live.

  C               F              G               e
2.   If I was a sculptor, but,       then again no,
          a             C             a                F
    or a man who makes potions in a       travelling show.
            C                    G                  e          a
    Well,       I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do,
C                  d         F                   C  - F - C
    my gift is my song and       this one's for you.

G                     a         d                F
    And you can tell everybody     this is your song,
G              a                  d                 F
    it may be quite simple, but      now that it's done,
a                           G
    I hope you don't mind,     I hope you don't mind
a                       F
    that I put down in words :
         C         d              F             G       C-F-G-F
    How wonderful life is, while you're in the world.

   C                F     G                      e
3.    I sat on the roof      and kicked off the moss,
             a          C                     a             F
    well, a few of the verses, well, they've got me quite cross
C                             G     e                       a
    But the sun's been quite kind,      while I wrote this song
C                         d         F                    G    ~
    It's for people like you that        keep it turned on.

   C                   F        G                       e
4.    So excuse me forgetting,      but these things I do,
a                    C                  a                F
    you see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
C                  G              e         a
    Anyway,  the thing is ,  what I really mean :
C                   d             F              C  - F - C
    Yours are the sweetest eyes       I've ever seen.

G                     a         d                F
    And you can tell everybody     this is your song,
G              a                  d                 F
    it may be quite simple, but      now that it's done,
a                           G
    I hope you don't mind,     I hope you don't mind
a                       F
    that I put down in words :
         C         d              F             G       
    How wonderful life is, while you're in the world.
a                           G
    I hope you don't mind,     I hope you don't mind
a                       F
    that I put down in words :
         C         d              F             C      -F-G-F-C
    How wonderful life is, while you're in the world.
