Elton John - Your Song
----------------------
Although there are already 6 different versions of this song here (Ver2 actually
contains 2 separate versions), I don't think any of them have got it exactly
right, so here's my effort.
The song is, of course, in the key of E-flat Major (as in Ver3), so you need a
capo on the 1st fret in order to play it in D Major. However, I find that it's
much easier to play it in C major (i.e. Capo 3), because, for example,
whereas Am/F# is quite easy to play, Bm/G# is beyond my poor skills!
Nevertheless I've also included the chords for D major, to make my version
easier to compare with the other versions of the song.

Intro: [Fmaj7/c]
It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money, but, boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live [Gsus4,G]
If I was a sculptor, (heh,) but then again no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
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 [Csus4,C]
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 [Gsus4, G]
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 [Gsus4, G]
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 [Csus4,C]
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 [Gsus4, G]
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
