Intro: Eb  Ab/Eb Bb/Eb Ab/Eb

Eb                    Abmaj7 Bb/D                Gm
It's a little bit funny,       this feeling inside
Cm                     Cm/Bb        Cm/A       Abmaj7
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
Eb                              Bb            G             Cm
I don't have much money, but boy, if I did
Eb                  Fm7                Ab                     Bb
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

 
If I was a sculptor,   but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song, and this one's for you

Bb/D                    Cm             Fm7               Abmaj7
And you can tell everybody this is your song
Bb/D          Cm                    Fm                   Ab
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
Cm                                Cm/Bb
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
Cm/A                      Ab6
That I put down in words,
        Eb/G         Fm                   Ab                Bb
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

 
Interlude:  Eb  Ab/Eb Bb/Eb Ab/Eb

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

Chorus

  
Cm                                 Cm/Bb
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
Cm/A                        Ab6
That I put down in words,
         Eb/G         Fm                Ab                Eb      Ab/Eb Bb/Eb Ab/Eb Eb
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
