Вступление
[Intro]
EbAbBb9/EbAb
[Verse]
EbAb7+BbGm
It's a little bit funny, Lord this feeling inside
CmCm7F#4/AAb7
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
EbBbG/BCm
I don't have much money but boy, if I did
EbFm7AbBb
I'd buy a big mansion where we both could live
[Verse]
EbAb7+BbGm
If, if I was a sculpture, Lord honey but then again, no
CmCm7F#4/AAb7
Or a man who makes potions in a travelin' show
EbBbG/BCm
I know it's not much, I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do
EbFm7AbBb
You gave a gift, Lord and I'm gon' sing it for you
[Chorus]
Bb/DCmAb7+Eb/Ab
And you can tell everybody that this is your song
Bb/DCmAb7+Eb/Ab
It may be quite, quite simple but that's how it's done

I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind what I wrote down in words
FmBbBbBb7
How wonderful life is... when you're in the world, world, world
[Verse]
EbAb7+BbGm
If, if, if I was on a rooftop I'd kick off my shoes
CmCm7F#4/AAb7
I'll write a few verses and then I get the blues
EbBbG/BCm
But the sun's been quite, quite kind While I wrote this song
EbFm7Ab
It's for people like you and people like me
Bb
I wanna, I wanna keep turnin' on on on on
[Verse]
EbAb7+BbGm
So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do, Lord
CmCm7F#4/AAb7
You see, you see I've forgotten if they're green or blue
EbBbG/BCm
Anyway the things is, anyway the thing is, what I really mean
EbFm7Ab
Your are the sweetest eyes, you've got the sweetest eyes
Bb
The clearest eyes I've ever seen, I hope you know that
[Chorus]

And you can tell everybody that this is your song
Bb/DCmAb7+Eb/Ab
It may be quite, quite simple but that's how it's done
