Transcribed by Arch Larizza
Ah! Oh ain't it [C6]grand to live and [Dm7]breathe
To let your [C6]chest expand
Ah! The skies are [D6]blue, the world's a [Em7]song
When life is [D6]notes to you
[Bm]I've got [Bm+7]eternal youth [Bm7]becau...[Bm6]ause
[A]I've got my [A7]heart where it be[D7]longs
[Am]Don't care who [Am+7]makes the nation's [Am7]la...[Am6]aws
[Dm]Long as I can [Dm7]sing its [G7sus4]songs [G7]
I love to [Cadd9]sing-a
About the [Abm7]moon-a [Am7]and the [Abm7]June-a [Am7]and the [C6]spring-a
I love to [Dm7]sing-a [Fm6]
'Bout the [C]sky of [Am]blue-a, or a [Dm]tea for [G7]two-a
Any[C]thing-a with a [Am]swing-a to an [Dm]I love [G7]you-[Cdim]a
[C]I [Am]love-a to [Dm]I [G7]love-a to [C]sing! [Cdim] [C]
Give me a [Cadd9]song-a
About a [Abm7]son-a [Am7]gun-a [Abm7]went and [Am7]done her [C6]wrong-a
But keep it [Dm7]clean-a [Fm6]
With a [C]cottage [Am]small-a by the [Dm]water [G7]fall-a
Any [C]sob-a that'll [Am]throb-a to a [Dm]bluebird's [G7]call-[Cdim]a
[C]I [Am]love-a to [Dm]I [G7]love-a to [C]sing! [Cdim] [C]
I was [E7]born a [E6]singin' fool-a
[E7]La-de-dah! Simon Cowell is gonna spot me
[D7]Got through Yale with [D6]boola boola
[D7]La-de-dah! Ol' [Dm]microphone's got [G7]me!
I love to [Cadd9]sing-a
I love to [Abm7]wake up [Am7]with the [Abm7]south-a i[Am7]n my [C6]mouth-a
And wave the [Dm7]flag-a [Fm6]
With a [C]cheer for Uncle [Am]Sammy
And a[Dm]nother for my Mam[D7]my
[Dm]I.... [G7]love-a to [C]sing!
