I love this song so much. I think it's best on piano but it works on guitar as well.
Capo on 1 st. If you want it to sound like the original.
D G A F#m
It s a little bit funny this feeling inside
Bm Bm/A Bm/G# G
I m not one of those who can easily hide
D A F# Bm
I don t have much money but boy if I did
D Em7 G A
I d buy a big house where we both could live
D G A F#m
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Bm Bm/A Bm/G# G
Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show
D A F# Bm
I know it s not much but it s the best I can do
D Em7 G D
My gift is my song and this one s for you
A Bm Em7 G
And you can tell everybody this is your song
A Bm Em G
It may be quite simple but now that it s done
Bm
I hope you don t mind
Bm/A Bm/G# G
I hope you don t mind that I put down in words
D Em G A
How wonderful life is while you re in the world
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 my 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
D Em G A D
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
