Song For Myself

Words and Music by Harry Chapin



D - G - D - G

        D
It's a song to myself

         G
It's a song to myself

D
You don't have to listen babe

             G
It's just a song for myself

      A
But since I fell in love with you

     G
It brought some thoughts to mind

    F#m
If we're gonna raise us a couple of kids

          Em
I got to worry 'bout future times


G
Do I believe that the answer 

        D    
Is still blowing in the wind?

G
Do I believe that there are good times rolling babe

D 
Just around the bend?

G
Do I believe that with a little more love now

D
All our troubles end?  

Em
Here I am trying to believe in myself

    A                        G                       Em
And be a little good, be a little good, be a little good 

        D
To my friends

G - D - G

              D
It's just a thought that was in my mind

         G
Just a thought that's in my mind.

D
You don't have to think it babe 

              G
It's just a thought that was in my mind

    A
But no one's wrote a protest song 

        G
Since nineteen sixty-three

       F#m
Are we all gonna listen to the moldy gold 

       Em
And say just let it be?  


G
Do I believe that the answer 

        D    
Is still blowing in the wind?

G
Do I believe that there are good times rolling babe

D 
Just around the bend?

G
Do I believe that with a little more love now

D
All our troubles end?  

Em
Here I am trying to believe in myself

    A                        G                       Em
And be a little good, be a little good, be a little good 

        D              G
To my friends


D                       D                        G                 
Be a little good, be a little good, be a little good, 

             G                 G            B
Be a little good, be a little good to my friends now...

              G                G            B
Be a little good, be a little good to my friends now...


        E
It's a song for myself

             A
It's just a song for myself

E
You don't have to listen babe

             A
It's just a song for myself.  

         B
But it seems my generation 

               A
Should have something more to say.  

       G#m
Are we all gonna sit here with a stoned out smile 

            F#m
And simply watch the world go 'way?


A
Do I believe that the answer 

           E
Is still blowing in the wind?

A
Do I believe that with a little more love now

E
All our troubles end?  

A
Do I believe that there are good times rolling babe

E
Just around the bend?

F#m
Here I am trying to believe in myself

    B                        A                      F#m
And be a little good, be a little good, be a little good 

        E
To my friends

[repeat and fade to end...]
