🎸 Verse 1:
    E minorEm           D MajorD         C majorC  G+G
Only a song, it’s not set in stone, it’s only a song
      E minorEm              D MajorD           C majorC  G+G
It’s only a poem, it could change in the long run, it’s only a song
         E minorEm          D MajorD
It’s what I said then just to make it rhyme
           C majorC      G+G
Could have been on my mind at the time
         E minorEm        D MajorD         C majorC  G+G
Putting paper to pen, it’s only a song, it’s only a song
         E minorEm            D MajorD         C majorC  G+G
Could be back to front, just to get it to work, it’s only a song
     E minorEm       D MajorD        C majorC   G+G
Get it to jump, get it to swing, so I can sing it

    E minorEm               B minorBm
Only a song when everything’s said and done
         E minorEm            B minorBm
At the end of the day, in the warmth of the sun
      C majorC          B minorBm
It’s only a song, in the wintry snow
             C majorC      D MajorD
When the penguins march along and go home
      G+G
It’s only a song
