YOUR SONG (Elton John & Bernie Taupin)
--------------------------------------
[Actually in Eb; capo 3.]
[Each chord is half a measure, except "Gsus - G" and "F - C" are
a half-measure _total_.]
C F/C G/C F/C
[intro]
C Fmaj7 G/B 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 Gsus - G
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
C Fmaj7 G/B Em
If I were a sculptor, but then again, no
Am Am/G Am/F# F
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
C/G G E Am
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 Am/F# F6 [hold]
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
C/E F6 F G Gsus - 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
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
Am Am/G Am/F# F6 [hold]
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
C F6 F C F/C G/C F/C C.
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
