[Verse 1]
EmDCG
Only a song, it’s not set in stone, it’s only a song
EmDCG
It’s only a poem, it could change in the long run, it’s only a song
EmD
It’s what I said then just to make it rhyme
CG
Could have been on my mind at the time
EmDCG
Putting paper to pen, it’s only a song, it’s only a song
EmDCG
Could be back to front, just to get it to work, it’s only a song
EmDCG
Get it to jump, get it to swing, so I can sing it
[Chorus]
EmBm
Only a song when everything’s said and done
EmBm
At the end of the day, in the warmth of the sun
CBm
It’s only a song, in the wintry snow
CD
When the penguins march along and go home
G
It’s only a song
[Solo]

Only a song when everything’s said and done
EmBm
At the end of the day, in the warmth of the sun

It’s only a song, in the wintry snow

G
It’s only a song
[Verse 2]
EmDCG
Only a song, it’s not set in stone, it’s only a song
EmDCG
It’s only a poem, it could change in the long run, it’s only a song
EmD
It’s what I said then just to make it rhyme
CG
Something’s on my mind at the time
EmDCG
It’s only a song, it’s back-to-front, just to get it to work now
EmDCG
Get it to jump, get it to swing, so I can sing it
EmDCG
It’s only a song, it’s not set in stone, it’s only a song
EmDCG
It’s only a song, it’s only a poem, it’s only a song
