Your Song

Words and Music by Elton John and Bernie Taupin

C                 Fmaj7  G                Em
It's a little bit funny,   this feeling inside
Am             Am/G          Am/F#       F
I'm not one of those who can      easily hide
C/G               G           E          Am
I don't have much money, but,   boy if I did
C             Dm7         F               G    Gsus4  G
I'd buy a big house where   we both could live

If I was a sculptor: but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
C             Dm7      F                C   F/C  C
My gift is my song and   this one's for you

    G/B              Am        Dm             F
    And you can tell everybody   this is your song
    G/B       Am               Dm              F
    It may be quite simple but   now that it's done
    Am                     Am/G
    I hope you don't mind,     I hope you don't mind
    Am/F#              F6
    That I put down in words
        C/E       F6            F             G     Gsus4  G
    How wonderful life is while you're in the world

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

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

    [CHORUS]

        Am                     Am/G
        I hope you don't mind,     I hope you don't mind
        Am/F#              F6
        That I put down in words
            C/E       F6            F             G     Gsus4  G
        How wonderful life is while you're in the world

        [repeat but end with:]
                 F             C     F/C  G/C  F/C  C
        ...while you're in the world
