John, Elton Your Song Guitar Tab

[D]It's a little bit [Gmaj7]funny, this[A] feeling in[F#m]side
[Bm]I'm not one of [Bm/A]those who can [Bm/Ab]easily hi[G]de
[D]I don't much [A]money, but, [F#]boy if I [Bm]did
[D]I'd buy a big [Em7]house where [G]we both could [A]live
[D]If I was a [Gmaj7]sculptor, but[A] then ag[F#m]ain no
[Bm]Or a man who [Bm/A]makes potions in a [Bm/Ab]travelling [G]show
[D]I know it's not [A]much but it's the [F#]best I can [Bm]do
[D]My gift is my [Em7]song, and [G]this one for [D]you
{start_of_chorus}
[A]And you can tell [Bm]everybody [Em7]this is your [G]song
[A]It may be [Bm]quite simple [Em]but now that it's [G]done
I [Bm]hope you don't mind, I [Bm/A]hope you don't mind
[Bm/Ab]That I put down in [G]words,
{end_of_chorus}
How [D]wonderful [Em]life is while [G]you're in the [A]world
[D]I sat on the [Gmaj7]roof and [A]kicked off the [F#m]moss
[Bm]Well a few of the [Bm/A]verses [Bm/Ab]they've got me quite [G]crossed
[D]But the sun's been quite [A]king, while I [F#]wrote this [Bm]song
[D]It's for people like [Em7]you that they [G]keep turned [A]on
[D]So excuse me and [Gmaj7]forget but[A] these I [F#m]do
[Bm]You see I've for[Bm/A]gotten if they're [Bm/Ab]green or they're [G]blue
[D]Anyway, the [A]thing is, [F#]what I reallly [Bm]mean
[D]Yours are the [Em7]sweetest eyes [G]I've ever [D]seen
{c: chorus}
How [D]wonderful [Em]life is while [G]you're [A]in the [D]world

Bernie said he wrote this one in the morning while eating breakfast, if you look at the original theres a stain from scrambled eggs or something on the paper

I've always loved this song....but when a special person sings it to you...it takes on a whole new meaning. Thank you sweetheart, you make me feel so loved.

about a week after i was dating my boyfriend, he took me out for a "surprise". it was rainy, and cold, but i agreed to go. he took me out to the country, to a little while gazebo. he stopped the car, ran to the trunk to take out his guitar, and he told me he had learned a song to play for me. i stood there stunned and swooning out of my mind as he gently crooned these infamous words. it fit perfectly since we had seen moulin rouge on our first date, and he later confessed that he had forgotten the color of my eyes after he asked me out. >sigh<

The song was written for a girl, by Bernie Taupin. Get over it.

Pssssht, I think it's a love song. I love the way he does this song. But it was weird because I heard it after I heard Ewan's version. So I tried singing along, but I'd keep hitting different notes than Elton's cuz I was so used to Ewan's. Anyway, Bernie and Ewan are a frikken genius together.

i think that this is a love song and i had never heard it until i saw moulin rouge and i know its terrible but i do think that the moulin rouge's version is better (sorry!) and i just think that its a perfect song becuase it is so simple and true. just knowing that this person singing is imagining a future on what little he/she has is absolutely exquisite and my favorite elton john song. what a great accomplishment!

how is this not a love song? he talks about eyes, how wonderful life is, buying a house for the two of them. if elton is buying his fans a house, i want dibs on that...but nice try. its a love song....one of my favorite songs of all time. great in moulin rouge too, listen to that version....
