Intro:
E A (2x)

E           A 
 Nobody can tell you 
E                 B 
 There's only one song worth singing 
E               A 
 They may try and sell you 
        G#m       
Cause it hangs them up 
    A                B 
To see someone like you 
 

          E G#m       A           B        
But you gotta make your own kind of music 
E  G#m     A             B       
 Sing your own special song 
E G#m      A             B       
 Make your own kind of music 
A                        B 
Even if nobody else sings along 
 

E               A 
 You're gonna be nowhere 
E               B 
 The loneliest kind of lonely 
E                A 
 It may be rough going 
        G#m                    A               B 
Just to do your thing is the hardest thing to do 
 

              E G#m      A            B       
But you've gotta make your own kind of music 
E   G#m     A           B       
 Sing your own special song 
E G#m      A             B       
 Make your own kind of music 
A                        B 
Even if nobody else sings along 

 
D                          E 
 So if you cannot take my hand 
D                         A              B 
 And if you must be going, I will understand
