Beggars Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 All you gAmreat men of power, you who bFoast of your feats -

 PolitiAmcians and entrepreneurFs.

 Can you Amsafeguard your breath in the Fnight while you sleep?

 Keep your Amheart beating steady and sFure?

 As you lGie in your bed, does the tE7hought haunt your head

 That you’re Amreally, rather sD7mall?

 If there’s oFne thing I know in this liEmfe: we are beggars all.

 All you Amchampions of science and Frulers of men,

 Can you Amsummon the sun from its slFeep?

 Does the Amearth seek your counsel on Fhow fast to spin?

 Can you sAmhut up the gates of the deepF?

 Don’t you Gknow that all things hang, as E7if by a string,

 O’er the Amdarkness - poised to D7fall?

 If there’s Fone thing I know in this lEmife: we are beggars all.

 All you Ambig shots that swagger and sFtride with conceit,

 Did you dAmevise how your frame would be forFmed?

 If you’d be rAmaised in a palace, or lFive out in the streets,

 Did you cAmhoose the place or the hour you’d be Fborn?

 Tell me wGhat can you claim? Not a tE7hing - not your name!

 Tell me iAmf you can rD7ecall just one Fthing,

 That’s not a gift in this lEmife?

AmCan you hear what’s been saFid?

 Can you Amsee now that Emeverything’s Amgrace after aD7ll?

 If there’s oFne thing I know in this Emlife: we are beggars all.
