Capo I
 
[Intro]
 
D G A G
 
[Verse 1]
 
D                 G          A         F#m
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside 
Bm                           Bm7    G
I'm not one of those who can easily hide 
D                 A          F#       Bm
I don't have much money but, boy if I did 
D             Em           G             A
I'd buy a big house where, we both could live 
 
[Verse 2]
 
D          G         A               F#m
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no 
Bm                              Bm7       G
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show 
D               A                  F#         Bm
I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do 
D             Em        G              D
My gift is my song and, this one's for you 
 
[Chorus]
 
A                Bm         Em           G
And you can tell everybody, this is your song 
A         Bm                Em            G
It may be quite simple but, now that it's done 
  Bm
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind,
       Bm7         G
that I put down in words 
    D         Em             G             A
How wonderful life is, while you're in the world 
 
[Verse 3]
 
D            G         A              F#m
I sat on the roof and, kicked off the moss 
Bm                                     Bm7          G
Well a few of the verses well, they've got me quite cross
D                        A             F#         Bm
But the sun's been quite kind, while I wrote this song 
D                    Em        G              A
It's for people like you, that keep it turned on 
 
[Verse 4]
 
     D          G            A              F#m
So excuse me forgetting but, these things I do 
    Bm                             Bm7              G
You see I've forgotten if they're, green or they're blue 
D           A         F#            Bm
Anyway, the thing is, what I really mean 
D             Em             G         D
Yours are the sweetest eyes, I've ever seen
 
[Chorus]
 
A                Bm         Em           G
And you can tell everybody, this is your song 
A         Bm                Em            G
It may be quite simple but, now that it's done 
  Bm
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind,
       Bm7         G
that I put down in words 
    D         Em             G             A
How wonderful life is, while you're in the world 
 
[Outro]
 
  Bm                     Bm7
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind,
       Bm          G
that I put down in words 
    D         Em             G             D
How wonderful life is, while you're in the world
