Chords
A Piano tutorial on how to play ‘Your Song’ by Elton John. A piano lesson teaching the chords needed to play the full song. I listened to several live performances as well as the original recording to gauge more-or-less what he’s basically playing – some performances differ very much from the next!

Eb Abmaj7 Bb/D Gm7
It’s a little bit funny this feeling inside
Cm CmBb CmA Abmj7
I’m not one of those who can easily hide
EbBb Bb G7B Cm
I don’t have much money but boy if I did
Eb Fm Ab Bb/D Bbsus/D
I’d buy a big house where we both could live

Eb Abmaj7 Bb Gm7
If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Cm CmBb CmA Abmj7
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
EbBb Bb G7B Cm
I know it’s not much but it’s the best I can do
Eb Fm Ab Bb/D Bbsus/D
My gift is my song, yeah, and this one’s for you

BbD Cm/Eb Fm Ab
And you can tell everybody this is your song
BbD Cm/Eb Fm Ab
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done

VERSE:
Eb Abmaj7 Bb Gm7
I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss

Well a few of the verses well they’ve got me quite cross
Eb Bb G7B Cm
But the sun’s been quite kind while I wrote this song
Eb/G Ab6 Fm7 Bb/D Bbsus/D
It’s for people like you that keep it turned on

Eb Abmaj7 Bb Gm7
So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
Cm CmBb CmA Abmj7
You see I’ve forgotten if they’re green or they’re blue

Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen
