This next song is a very pivotal song in my career.
It was my first ever hit and at
least 90% of the songs you heard tonight on the original recordings were
produced by a man called Gus Dudgeon who was going to work on the show tonight as
he did with a Melbourne Symphony Orchestra but as tragedy had it he and
his wife Sheila were killed in a car crash earlier this year and it robbed us
of two great individual people and an incredible talent.
I wouldn't be here if
it wasn't for Gus's ability as a producer and an editor and a friend.

[Eb] I don't [Bb] have much money [G] but if I did [Eb] I'd buy [Fm] a big house [Ab] where we both could [Dm]
[Bb] live.
[Eb] If [Cm] I was a sculptor [Bb]
then [Gm] again no.
[Cm] Or a man who bakes potions in a [Ab] traveling show.
[Eb] No [Bb] it's not much [G] but it's the best I [Cm] can do.
[Eb] My gift [Fm] is my song and [Ab]
this one's [Eb] for you.
[Bb] You [Cm] can tell everybody [Fm] this [Ab] is your song.
[Bb] It may [Cm] be quite simple [Fm] but now [Ab] that it's done
[Cm] I hope you're done now I hope you're done now that I put [Fm] down in a world
[Eb]
full [Ab] of life here while you're in the [Bb] world

[Eb] [Ab] sat on the roof [Bb] and I [Gm] kicked out the boss
[Cm] Well a few of the verses [A] oh they got me [Ab] quite cross
[Eb] Well this [Bb] has been quite [G] kind well I wrote them songs
[Eb] Oh it's for [Fm] people like you that [Ab] keep it [Bb] turned on
So [Eb] excuse [Ab] me for getting [Bb] to do [Gm] things I do [Cm] you see
[Gm] I forgot [A] to lift the [Ab] grave out of the blue
[Eb] Anyway the [Bb] thing is what I [G] really mean
[Cm] [Eb] Those [Fm] are the sweetest lies [Ab]
I've [Eb] ever seen
That [Bb] you [Cm] can tell [Fm] everybody this [Ab] is your [Bb] song
It may [Cm] be quite simple [Fm] but now [Ab] that it's done
[Cm] I hope you're done [Eb] now I hope you're [A] done now that I put [Fm] down in a world
How [Eb]
wonderful [Ab] life is while you're in the [Bb] world
[Cm] I hope you're done [Eb] now I hope you're done [A] now that I put down [Fm] in a world
