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

🎸 Chorus:
       Em                              Bm
Only a song when everything’s said and done
                  Em                        Bm
At the end of the day, in the warmth of the sun
            C                    Bm
It’s only a song, in the wintry snow
                         C           D
When the penguins march along and go home
            G
It’s only a song

At the end of the day, in the warmth of the sun
            C                    Bm
It’s only a song, in the wintry snow
                         C           D
When the penguins march along and go home
            G
It’s only a song

            Em                           D                     C   G
It’s only a poem, it could change in the long run, it’s only a song

          Em              D               C     G
Get it to jump, get it to swing, so I can sing it
            Em                     D                 C   G
It’s only a song, it’s not set in stone, it’s only a song
            Em                D                 C   G
It’s only a song, it’s only a poem, it’s only a song
