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
'Cause to do your thing is the hardest thing to do 
 
      E  G#m    A                  B
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 
  
D                            E
So if you cannot take my hand 
D                                A          B
And if you must be going, I will understand 
  
     E   G#m   A                   B
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
