"It's the simple pleasures in life that make me the happiest...
        and even the simple things are meaningless
        if I'm not sharing them with you...
        My life isn't worth anything without you"

        YOUR SONG
        Elton John
         
         C-F-G-F   
        C                       F   G                 Em
        It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside,
        Am                     C                  Am             F
           I'm not one of those who can        easily hide.
        C                                  G                Em         Am
           I don't have much money, but , boy,   if I did,
        C                    Dm              F                       G   
           I'd buy a big house where,  we both could live.
        
        C                  F                    G          Em
           If I was a sculptor, but then   again no,
        Am                              C               Am                   F
          Or a man who makes potions in a       traveling show.
        C                               G                       Em           Am
          Well, I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
        C                    Dm        F                    C  - F - C
          My gift is my song and  this one's for you.
        
        G                         Am         Dm                    F
          And you can tell everybody  this is your song,
        G              Am                  Dm                     F
          It may be quite simple, but    now that it's done,
        Am                              G
          I hope you don't mind,  I hope you don't mind
        Am                           F
          That I put down in words :
                  C           Dm              F                  G       C-F-G-F
        How wonderful life is, while you're in the world.
        
        C                  F   G                            Em
          I sat on the roof  and kicked off the moss,
        Am                        C      Am                                         F
          Well, a few of the verses,    well, they've got me quite cross
        C                                   G   Em                          Am
          But the sun's been quite kind,  while I wrote this song
        C                           Dm      F                       G   
          It's for people like you that  keep it turned on.
        C                          F      G                          Em
          So excuse me forgetting  but these things I do
        Am                     C    Am                                       F
          You see I've forgotten   if they're green or they're blue
        C                    G    Em                    Am
          Anyway the thing is  what I really mean
        C                      Dm         F                    G   
          Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
        
        G                         Am         Dm                    F
          And you can tell everybody  this is your song,
        G              Am                  Dm                     F
          It may be quite simple, but    now that it's done,
        Am                              G
          I hope you don't mind,  I hope you don't mind
        Am                           F
          That I put down in words :
                  C           Dm              F                   C   F-G-F-C
        How wonderful life is, while you're in the world.
