[Intro]
C Dm7 C F G x2
[Verse]
C Dm7 C F G
I will not sing this for you when you're old and grey
C
I will sing it for you now you're young
Dm7 C F G
This song will creep up on you, blow your blues away
C
When your day's work is done
[Chorus]
F
It's not a song about love
G C
It's not a song about hate
F G
It's not a song about being here too early
C
Or getting there too late
F
It's not a song for little children
G C F
Without food upon their plate
G C
It's a just a song for you darling
[Verse]
Dm7 C F G
I will not play this for you when you're past your best
C
I will play it for you now you're in your prime
Dm7 C F G
I will take your photograph, I will hold it to my chest
C
And I'll keep it in this pocket for a time
[Chorus]
F
It's not a song about war
G C
It's not a song about death
F G
It's not a song about the sweet red wine, I
C
Feel upon your breath
F G
It's not a song for all the love I gave you
C F
When I had nothing left
G C
It's a just a song for you darling
[Verse]
F G C
Monday we will sail our ships and Tuesday we will fly
F G
Wednesday we will learn to dance, Thursday we will try
C F G C F
To get some sleep so we can stay up, Friday night we cry
G
It's a just a song for you darling
[Instrumental]
C Dm7 C F G x3
[Verse]
C Dm7 C F G
I will sing this for you in the morning sun
C
I will sing it for you in the evening glow
Dm7 C F G
I will not sing this for you just before you come
C
I will sing it for you just before I go
[Chorus]
F
It's not a song about war
G C
It's not a song about death
F G
It's not a song about the sweet red wine, I
C
Feel upon your breath
F G
It's not a song for all the love I gave you
C F
When I had nothing left
G C
It's a just a song for you darling
[Verse]
F G C
Monday we will go to work and Tuesday we will play
F G C
Wednesday we'll find a beach, lie around all day
F G C F
The sun upon your shoulders, eyes misty from the spray
G
It's a just a song for you darling
[Chorus]
C F
It's not a song about love
G C
It's not a song about hate
F G
It's not a song about being here too early
C
Or getting there too late
F
It's not a song for any children
G C F
Without food upon their plate
G C
It's a just a song for you darling
[Outro]
