Intro:
MIb    LAb/MIb    SIb/MIb    LAb/MIb

MIb    LAb/MIb    SIb/MIb    LAb/MIb

MIb                  LAb     SIb/RE           SOLm7
 It's a little bit funny Lord, this feeling inside
DOm7            MIb      LAm7/5-     LAb7
 I'm not one of those who can easily hide
MIb/SIb              SIb     SOL/SI     DOm7
 I don't have much money but, boy, if I did
MIb            FAm7   LAb                  SIb7
 I'd buy a big mansion where we both could live
    MIb            LAb
If, if, if I was a sculpture Lord, 
     SIb/RE            SOLm7              DOm7
honey, but then again, no (Then again no, no)
                    MIb/SIb LAm7/5-         LAb7
Or a man who makes potions   in a travelin' show
MIb/SIb          SIb                   SOL7/SI
 I know it's not much, I know it's not much, 
                         DOm7
but it's the best I can do
MIb             FAm7     LAb
 You gave me a gift Lord, 
                          MIb
and I'm gonna sing it for you

SIb               DOm      FAm7               LAb
 And you can tell everybody that this is your song
              SIb/RE
(This is your song)
            DOm
It may be a quite, quite simple, 
          FAm7      LAb
but that's how it's done
DOm               MIb/SIb                LAm7/5-
 I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
                     LAb7
What I wrote down in words, words...
                   SIb11
How wonderful life is 
                   SIb9                              
when you're in the world, world, world

    MIb                LAb
If, if, (if), if I was on a rooftop
SIb/RE            SOLm7
 I'd kick off my shoes 
                            DOm7
(kick off my shoes, kick my shoes off)
                  MIb/SIb LAm7/5-             LAb7
I'll write a few verses    and then I get the blues
MIb/SIb            
 But the sun's been quite, 
SIb             SOL7/SI       DOm7
quite kind while I wrote this song
MIb                   FAm7                LAb
 It's for people like you and people like me
           SIb11                  MIb
I wanna, I wanna keep turnin' on
          LAb           
So excuse me for forgetting, 
   SIb/RE            SOLm7                 DOm7
but these things I do Lord (These things I do Lord)
             MIb/SIb 
You see, you see I've forgotten 
LAm7/5-              LAb7
 if they're green or blue
MIb/SIb           SIb                  SOL7/SI
 Anyway the thing is, anyway the thing is, 
              DOm7
what I really mean
MIb                            
 You are the sweetest eyes, 
FAm7                         LAb
 you've got the sweetest eyes
                            MIb
The clearest eyes I've ever seen, I hope you go back

           SIb                          DOm
I hope you, I hope you go back and tell everybody
FAm7                LAb                SIb/RE
 That this is your song (this is your song)
          DOm
It may be quite, quite simple, 
    FAm7                 LAb       
but  now that's how it's done

DOm               MIb/SIb                LAm7/5-
 I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
                     LAb7
What I wrote down in words, words...
                                      SIb11
I'm doin' beautiful, how wonderful it is 
                          SIb9
when you're in the world, world, world, world

    MIb                 LAb
If, if, (if), if I sat upon a rooftop 
SIb/RE             SOLm7
 and kicked off my shoes, oh yeah
                            DOm7
(Kick off my shoes, kick my shoes off)
                  MIb/SIb   LAm7/5-
I'll write a few verses 
                    LAb7
and then I get the blues
MIb/SIb             SIb
 But the sun's been quite, 
           SOL7/SI             DOm7
quite kind  while I wrote this song
MIb                   FAm7             LAb
 It's for people like you, people like me
                    SIb11
I wanna, wanna keep turnin' on, 

so excuse me, so excuse me
MIb           LAb            SIb/RE          SOLm7
 So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do
                DOm7
(These things I do Lord)
                 MIb/SIb
You see, you see I've forgotten

You are the sweetest eyes, the sweetest eyes
    LAb                     MIb
The sweetest eyes I've ever seen

Basta Strimpellare!

Rock Italiano

Your Song è un grande classico del pop internazionale, reinterpretato dalla voce soul di Paul Williams in arte Billy Paul nel 1972. Versione contenuta nell'album 360 Degrees of Billy Paul, che si rivela per l'artista di Philadelphia l'apice del suo successo commerciale, risale però a due anni prima. Era stata scritta nel 1970 dal genio e dalla penna di Bernie Taupin e Reginald Kenneth Dwight, al secolo Elton John, ed è una delle più belle ed intense ballate dal Dopoguerra ad oggi!
