[Intro]
D G A G
[Verse 1]
D Gmaj7 A/C# F#m
It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
Bm Bm/A Bm/G# Gmaj7
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 Em7 G A
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
D Gmaj7 A/C# F#m
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Bm Bm/A Bm/G# G
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
D A F# Bm
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
D Em7 G D
My gift is my song, and this one's for you
[Chorus]
A/C# Bm Em7 Gmaj7
And you can tell everybody this is your song
A/C# Bm Em G
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
Bm Bm/A
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
Bm/G# G6
That I put down in words,
D/F# Em G A
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
[Interlude]
D G A G
[Verse 2]
D Gmaj7 A/C# F#m
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Bm Bm/A Bm/G# Gmaj7
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 Em7 G A
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
D Gmaj7 A/C# F#m
So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
Bm Bm/A Bm/G# Gmaj7
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 Em7 G D
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
[Chorus]
A/C# Bm Em7 G
And you can tell everybody this is your song
A/C# Bm Em G
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
Bm Bm/A
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
Bm/G# G6
That I put down in words,
D Em G A
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
Bm Bm/A
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
Bm/G# G6
That I put down in words,
D/F# Em G D G/D A/D G/D D
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

This is a great transcription of this very sentimental song. Eveything this guy submits is great. Keep it up!!!
+76

remember this is a guitar transcription NOT a piano transcription. I transposed this a 1/2 step flat so guitarists can play it easier. A capo on the 1st fret gets it back to the original key of Eb (yes if you play an open first position D-chord with a capo on the 1st fret it's actually an Eb chord).

Not too short, not too long, just right. Works very well.
