Lyrics

Ho, ho, they’re play ing my song; oh, yeah, they’re play ing my song, and when they’re play ing my (C6)song ev ’ry (Am7)bod y’s got ta (Fmaj9)sh, sh, sh.

Don’t say a word now, (Em7)lis ten to that sweet mel o (Am)dy.

I’m (Am7)hap py to (D9)say, in my (Am7)own hum ble (D9)way (G7)ev ’ry per fect note of that was writ ten by me.

Ah, ha, they’re play ing my song, that ta ble’s hum ming a long.

That cou ple half out the door is com ing (Am7)back to hear (Fmaj9)more of my (G7)mu sic.

At (Em7)first, I thought this place was a (Am)dive.

I (Ab)chose it in (Bb9)haste, but they (C)showed they got (Am7)taste, as (Dm9)long as they’re (Dm9)play ing my (C6)song.

(C11)Who would have known, nine months a go, (F)I would give (Fmaj7)birth at (F)my pi (C7)a (Dm7)no.

In (Am7)all hon es (D9)ty, I’ve (Am7)got to ad (D9)mit, I (G7)knew this song would be an in ter na tion al hit.

Ah, ha, they’re play ing my tune; too bad it’s end ing so soon.

But when we all got ta go it’s good to (Am7)know that they’ll be (Fmaj7)play

ing, oh, God, I’m (Fmaj7)pray

(G7)ing (G9)they’ll (G11)be (Dm)play ing,

they’ll be play ing my (C)song.
