G5              D5       A5           
What would you think if I sang out of tune,
D5                              G5   
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
G5             D5         A5            
Lend me your ears and I?ll sing you a song,
         D5                   G5   
And I?ll try not to sing out of key.
