Intro:
SOLm/LA     LA7

REm                           LA7/DO#
 I've been so many places in my life and time
FA6
 I've sung a lot of songs
SIm7/5-
 I've made some bad rhymes
SIb                 FA/LA          SOLm7/9
  I've acted out my life in stages
                  LA7/9-           SIb
With ten thousand people watching
    DO6
But we're alone now
        SIb/DO              FA     REm
And I'm singing this song to you
                      
I know your image of me
        LA7/DO#        FA6/DO
Is what I hoped to be
                       SIm7/5-
I treated you unkindly
                           SIb
But darling, can't you see?
                              FA/LA  SOLm7
There's no one more important to me
      FA/LA                    SIb
Baby, can't you see through me?
       FA7+/DO
'Cause we're alone now
DO11                        FA
 And I'm singing this song to you
REm            REm7+/DO#
 You taught me precious secrets
   FA/DO      SIm7/5-              SIb
Of a true love withholding nothing
    DO13             DO7   FA
You came out in front when I was hiding
REm      REm7+/DO#      FA/DO
 Now I'm so much better
          SIm7/5-                  SIb
And if my words don't come together
              FA/LA
Listen to the melody
          SOL9            DO11
'Cause my love is in there hiding...

 I love you for my life

                     FA/LA
And when my life is over

A Song for You è un brano reinterpretato e inciso da Donny Hathaway, versione contenuta nel suo album eponimo pubblicato nel 1971. Secondo lavoro in studio per il soulman di Chicago, è una sorta di raccolta in cui omaggia la musica afroamericana declinata nei suoi stili: soul, blues, gospel... e un tocco di pop. La canzone risale al 1970, quando fu scritta e incisa dal rocker dell'Oklahoma Claude Russell Bridges in arte Leon Russel; un blues lento per chiedere perdono alla propria amata.
