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
