 I'm nothing special, in fact  I'm a bit of a bore
   G                       B7                 Em   A  Aaug
If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
    D                   A7(/E)
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
       D/F#      Daug        G           Gm
'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
         Bm               G/B
I'm so grateful and proud
       Em7        Em/D        A7
All I want is to sing it out loud
 
 
[CHORUS]
A7 A7/B A/C#   D                Em7        A7sus A7 D2  D

Mhm, she says I began to sing long before I could talk
    D                         A7         Aaug
And I've often wondered, how did it all start?
     D              Daug        G         Gm6
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
        Bm         G/B
Like a melody can?
        Em          Em/D       A7
Well, whoever it was,   I'm a fan

I am the girl with golden hair

I wanna sing it out     to  everybody
