C                 Fmaj7  G              Em

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside

Am             Am/G           Am/F#  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             Dm7            F          G

I'd buy a big house where we both could live

C              Fmaj7  G              Em

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no

Am             Am/G           Am/F#  F

Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show

C               G          E        Am

I know it's not much but it's the best I can do

C             Dm7            F          C

My gift is my song and this one's for you

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                   Am/G

I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind

Am/F#              F6

that I put down in words

C         Dm7           F             G

How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while
I wrote this song It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
