Your Song was written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin and it appears on Elton’s self-titled 1970s album. It’s no surprise that this is one of his best-known and loved songs out of the very many hits he’s had. The melody is truly beautiful, as are the lyrics, and the chords are so perfectly crafted. It’s no wonder it makes for a great fingerstyle arrangement.
