Tuning: Standard

If he were a color

He'd be a deep dark forest green

If he were a car

He'd be a long stretch limousine

B E

With room for all of humanity inside

Cause he is so giving

And he is so wise

B E

If he were a number

B E

He'd be a five cause he has such a brilliant mind

B E

If he were an animal

B E E

He'd be an ass cause he's so stubborn sometime

But if he were a song

He'd be a complicated melody

That complicated fellow he

I almost can not sing it on key

B E B E

But he means the world to me

If he were a building

He'd be a beautiful cathedral

B E

Cause he's so traditionally spiritual

B E

If he were a dance

He'd be complicated like the tango

E E

Exotic like a mango

But if he were a song

He'd be a complicated melody

That complicated fellow he

I almost can not sing it on key

B E

But he means the world to me
