You Are The Only Song

Harry Chapin (klr)

[[D]] Oh, I?ve sung it [[G]] all [[D]] tonight

Almost [[G]] every [[A]] story that I know [[D]] [[D7]]

And [[G]] now when they [[A]] turn out the [[D]] spotlight [[Bm]]

[[G]] I?m not sure [[Bm]] where I?m supposed to [[A]] go

And I?m [[D]] so hoarse I [[G]] can?t hit the [[D]] high notes

It?s just a [[G]] whisper [[A]] when I?m [[D]] low [[D7]]

But [[G]] when you [[A]] sing from the [[D]] inside [[Bm]]

You [[G]] hope [[Bm]] that something [[A]] shows

And [[G]] that is [[A]] why

Yes, [[G]] you [[A]] are the [[D]] only song [[Bm]]

The [[G]] only [[Bm]] song I [[A]] need

You?re my [[G]] laughter

And [[A]] you?re my [[D]] lonely song [[Bm]]

You?re the [[G]] harvest [[Bm]] and you?re the [[A]] seed

And you?re my [[G]] first [[A]] and my [[D]] final song [[Bm]]

[[G]] You own [[Bm]] me [[A]] indeed

Yes, [[G]] after [[A]] all is [[D]] said and done [[Bm]]

You?re the [[G]] one song [[Bm]] that I [[A]] need

I?ve [[D]] sung my [[G]] songs to [[D]] silence

To empty [[G]] clubs and [[A]] crowded [[D]] bars [[D7]]

I?ve [[G]] sung my [[A]] songs to [[D]] standing room [[Bm]]

Even [[G]] sung ?em [[Bm]] to the [[A]] stars

But the [[D]] faces they [[G]] fade together[[D]]

And the [[G]] applause it?s [[A]] gone so [[D]] fast [[D7]]

And the [[G]] story [[A]] of every [[D]] darkened stage [[Bm]]

Is that the [[G]] glory [[Bm]] just does not [[A]] last

And [[G]] that is [[A]] why

Yes, [[G]] after [[A]] all is [[D]] said and [[Bm]] done

You?re the [[G]] one song [[Bm]] that I [[A]] need

fade with circle

[[D]] - [[Dmaj7]] - [[D6]] - [[Dmaj7]]
