DGmaj7AF#m
It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside
BmBm/ABm/AbG
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
DAF#Bm
I don't much money, but, boy if I did
DEm7GA
I'd buy a big house where we both could live
DGmaj7AF#m
If I was a sculptor, but then again no
BmBm/ABm/AbG
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
DAF#Bm
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
DEm7GD
My gift is my song, and this one for you
ABmEm7G
And you can tell everybody this is your song
ABmEmG
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
BmBm/A
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
Bm/AbG
That I put down in words,
DEmGA
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
DGmaj7AF#m
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
BmBm/ABm/AbG
Well a few of the verses they've got me quite crossed
DAF#Bm
But the sun's been quite king, while I wrote this song
DEm7GA
It's for people like you that they keep turned on
DGmaj7AF#m
So excuse me and forget but these I do
BmBm/ABm/AbG
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
DAF#Bm
Anyway, the thing is, what I reallly mean
DEm7GD
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen
DEmGAD
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
