Lyrics

It’s a lit tle bit (Abmaj7)fun ny,

this feel ing in (Gm7)side.

Well, a few I’m not one of those who can eas i ly hide.

I

don’t have much (Bb)mon ey, but boy, if I (Cm)did,

I’d buy a big (Fm)house where

we both could (Bb)live.

So If I was a sculp tor,

but then a gain, (Gm7)no,

or a (Cm)man who makes (Cm)po tions in a

trav el ing show.

I

know it’s not much, is, but it’s the best I can do.

My gift is my (Fm)song and eyes

this one’s for you.

And you can tell (Cm)ev ’ry bod y

this is your song.

It may be quite sim ple, but

now that it’s done,

I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind that I put down in (Ab6)words

how (Eb)won der ful (Ab)life is while you’re in the world.

It’s I sat on the (Abmaj7)roof ny,

and kicked off the (Gm7)moss.

Well, a few I’m not of the vers es, they’ve got me quite cross.

I

But sun’s been (Bb)quite kind while I wrote this (Cm)song.

It’s for ple like (Fm)you that

keep it turned (Bb)on.

So ex cuse me for get ting,

but these things I (Gm7)do.

You see, (Cm)man I’ve for (Cm)got ten if they’re

green or they’re blue.

An y way, the is, but it’s what I real ly mean,

My gift are the (Fm)sweet est eyes

And you can tell (Cm)ev ’ry bod y

It may be quite sim ple, but

now that it’s done,

I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind that I put down in (Ab6)words

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "Your Song" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in Eb, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Your Song" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
