Written and recorded by Kenny Rogers 1977 
[Intro]
D          Em7        A7         D
I wouldn’t listen…and I couldn’t see,
D       D/F#   G            D/A       A7      D
and all I have left now are words you said to me.
[Verse 1]
D
Sing your song sweet music man,
D                                               G/D
Cause I won't be there to hold your hand like I used to,
G   D                 G/D  D
I'm through with you,
D        A7
You’re a hell of a singer and a powerful man,
A7                                                  D
but you surround yourself with people who demand so little of you.
[Verse 2]
D
You touched my soul with your beautiful song,
D                                   G/D
you even had me singing along right with you, 
G          D         G/D D
you said I need you,
D        A7
then you changed the words and added harmony,
A7                                              D
and you sang the song you had written for me to someone new.
[Chorus 1]
D   G              A7                   D
But nobody sings a love song quite like you do,
D   G                 A7           D
and nobody else could make me sing along,
D   G                 A7
and nobody else could make me feel,
A7   D          D/C#         Bm           G
that things are right when I know they’re wrong,
D                   A7              D
nobody sings a love song quite like you.
[Verse 3]
D
Sing your song sweet music man,
D                                               G/D
you travel the world with a six piece band that does for you,
G        D
what you ask it to,
D       A7
and 'ya try to stay young but the songs you sung,
A7                                       D
to so many people have all begun to come back on you.
[Verse 4]
D
So sing your song sad music man,
D                                                     G/D
you're making your living doing one night stands that prove to you,
G          D
they don't need you,
D              A7
you're still a helluva singer but a broken man,
A7                                             D
but you’ll keep on looking for one last fan to sing to.
[Chorus 2]
D   G              A7                   D
But nobody sings a love song quite like you do,
D   G                 A7           D
and nobody else could make me sing along,
D   G                 A7
and nobody else could make me feel,
A7   D          D/C#               Bm           G
that things are right when they're wrong with a song,
D                   A7              D
nobody sings a love song quite like you.
D
So sing your song sweet music man
A7           D
I believe in you 
C Bm A D
