G Cmaj7 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 sculpter, but then again no
or a man who make potions for a travelling show
well I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you
{ play G instead of D at end of verses 2 and 4 }
CH:
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
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
Em/C C
that I put down in words
G/B C 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, well 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
repeat chorus, repeating last two lines ( from I hope) twice.
And changing last D to G
