intro : Em , C

Em C
all you great men of power , you who boast of your feats
Em C
politicians and entrepreneurs
Em C
can you safeguard your breath in the night while you sleep
Em C
keep your heart beating steady and sure
D Am6
as you lie in your bed , does the thought haunt your head
Em A7
that youre really , rather small
C B11 Em
if theres one thing i know in this life : we are beggars all .

( Em ) C
all you champions of science and rulers of men ,
Em C
can you summon the sun from its sleep
Em C
does the earth seek your counsel on how fast to spin
Em C
can you shut up the gates of the deep
D Am6
dont you know that all things hang , as if by a string ,
Em A7
oer the darkness , poised to fall?
C B11 Em
if theres one thing i know in this life : we are beggars all .

Em C
all you big shots that swagger and stride with conceit ,
Em C
did you devise how your frame would be formed
Em C
if youd be raised in a palace , or live out in the streets ,
Em C
did you choose the place or the hour youd be born
D Am6
tell me what can you claim? not a thing , not your name
Em A7 C
tell me if you can recall just one thing ,
B11
thats not a gift in this life

Am
can you hear whats been said
B11 Em A7
can you see now that everythings grace after all
C B11 Em
if theres one thing i know in this life : we are beggars all .
