Your Song

Words & Music:

Elton John & Bernie Taupin

 

G                 CM7  D/F#             Bm

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside.

    Em         Em/D          Em/C   C

I'm not one of those who can easily hide.

G/D               D           B7/D#    Em

I don't have much money, but, boy if I did.

G             Am7            C          D

I'd buy a big house where we both could live.

 

If I was a sculptor, but, then again, no.

Or a man who make potions for a traveling show.

Well, I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do.

G             Am7      C              G

My gift is my song and this one's for you.

 

CHORUS:

D/F#             Em        Am           C

And you can tell everybody this is your song.

D/F#      Em                 Am            C

It may be quite simple; but, now that it's done.

Em                   Em/D                    Em/C               C

I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

    G/B       C                           D

How wonderful life is, when 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 down 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:
