C                  F
If I sang to you I love you
G                    C      Em 
In a soft and gentle voice
Am                 Dm
It would be so ordinary
G                      C          
Yes but if you had the choice
                    F
I know you'd rather hear
G                   C    Em
Something easy to digest
Am                          Dm
Something that you can talk over
G                                   C     
Something that sounds just like the rest



                              F
There's no such thing as easy listening
G                 C     Em
Listening is very hard
Am                   Dm  
There is just easy ignoring
    G                           F   
And music that is meant to be ignored 
G            C    F   C
Is pointless art


                F
No one actually listens
G              C   Em
To Easy Rock F-M
Am                       Dm
They just have it in the background
G                  C
To the ambience it blends


                              F
There's no such thing as easy listening
G                 C     Em
Listening is very hard
Am                   Dm  
There is just easy ignoring
    G                           F   
And music that is meant to be ignored 
G            C    F   
Is art lousy art


  C
I love you
