(This is a very simple version of this song for guitar (not piano).
I give this transcription to some of my sutdents so they can work on
fingerpicking -- sounds very pretty when done this way.
Play through the 1st verse & end on a D-chord instead of the
A-chord for the Intro) Have Fun!!!

Elton John - Your Song
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
If I was a sculptor, 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
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Chorus
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
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Chorus
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
I hope you don't mind, I [BmA]hope you don't mind
[BmAb]That I put down in words,
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
