[Verse 1]
D
It's a little bit funny
A            F#m7
This feeling inside
D
I'm not one of those who can
Bm     G
Easily hide
D                 A
I don't have much money but
F#m      Bm
Boy if I did
D             Bm
I'd buy a big house where
G             A7
We both could live
D
If I was a sculptor
A              F#m7
But then again no
     D
Or a man who makes potions in the
Bm        G
Traveling show
  D             A
I know it's not much
             F#m        Bm
But it's the best I can do
D             Bm
My gift is my song and
G              D
This one's for you

[Chorus]
A                Bm7
And you can tell everybody
G
This is your song
A         Bm7
It may be quite simple but
G
Now that it's done
Bm
I hope you don't mind
Bm
I hope you don't mind
E
That I put down in words
    G         E
How wonderful life is
      Cadd4         A
While you're in the world

[Verse 2]
D
I sat on the roof
    A              F#m7
And kicked off the moss
       D
Well a few of the verses
            Bm    G
They had me quite cross
D                   A
Well the sun's been quite kind
F#m                Bm
While I wrote this song
D                    Bm
It's for people like you
     G       A7
That keep it turned on
D
So excuse me forgetting
A                  F#m7
But these things I do
D
You see I've forgotten
           Bm               G
If they're green or they're blue
D          A
Anyway the thing is
              F#m   Bm
What I really mean
D                Bm
Is yours are the sweetest eyes
G         D
I've ever seen

[Chorus]
A                Bm7
And you can tell everybody
G
This is your song
A         Bm7
It may be quite simple but
G
Now that it's done
Bm
I hope you don't mind
Bm
I hope you don't mind
E
That I put down in words
    G         E
How wonderful life is
      Cadd4         A
While you're in the world
Bm
I hope you don't mind
Bm
I hope you don't mind
E
That I put down in words
    G         E
How wonderful life is
      Cadd4         D
While you're in the world
