But I have a talent, a wonderful thing, 'cause

E        E+           A          Am
Ev'ryone listens when I start to sing

I'm so grateful and proud

Who can live without it?

I ask in all honesty, what would life be

          E       E7/D            C#7

    A               A+                       F#m7  B7 B7b9
She says I began to sing long before I could talk

    E                        B7         B7#5
And I’ve often wondered, how did it all start

    E              E+            A           Am
Who found out that nothing could capture her heart
C#m C#m5+ Like a melody can
     F#m        F#m/E      B7
Well whoever it was, I’m a fan

Am           E              Am               E
I've been so lucky I am the girl with golden hair

I wanna sing it out to ev'rybody
