Your Song – Elton John

It's a little bit funny 
this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can 
easily hide
I don't have much money, but, 
boy, if I did
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 
travelling show
I know it's not much, 
but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and 
this one's for you

And you can tell everybody 
this is your song
It may be quite simple, 
but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind 
that I put down in words
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

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

I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind 
that I put down in words
How wonderful life is 
while you're in the world

Capo on 3rd fret
