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

Thanks for this version Matt! ***** this is excellent option for beginners guitar class, and music theory lesson & teaching transcribing. Comparisons of charts creates open mindedness and understanding of others requirements or reasons- which is certainly NOT harmful. In addition, it’s in a key that I can sing and play piano to. Charts should do what they describe....... There are plenty of other tabs to peruse and compare, so if it’s too easy for you, then you can always just stroll of on to one of the others charts can’t you? - simples! An excellent and useful contribution, thanks for spending the time on this chart.....

Hi I am pretty new to guitar what would the strumming be? I found one person that said duudu but it sounds weird at some parts (might just be me) thanks in advance!
