C   D                    Dm7 
What's it all about,       Alfie? 
      Cmaj7     C      Cmaj9   A       Em7 
Is it just     for the moment         we live? 
A7                Dm9   Dm7                      Em7          Am7 
        What's it all a-bout when you sort it out, Alfie? 

  Dm7                     F#º 
Are we meant to take more than we give 
    Dm7 
or are we meant to be kind? 
G9   E    G9     C   D              Dm7 
And        if       only fools are kind, Alfie, 
        Cmaj7     Cmaj9   A           Em7 
then I guess it's wise          to be cruel. 


A7              Dm9    Dm7                     Em7            
     And if life belongs only to the strong,     Alfie,       
A7         Dm7                      F#º 
      what will you lend on an old golden rule?  
    Bm7          Eb6  Am7              Bm7            Am7         Em 
As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie, 
Am7   Bm7                         Eb6 
    I know there's something much more, 
Am7            Dm7       G9  G7   E            G9     
something even non-believers can         believe in. 

C   D                   Dm7 
I        believe in love, Alfie. 
F#m7/5-               F9            Em7   Am7 
       Without true love we just exist,    Alfie.        
F#m7/5-                F9                   Em7           Am9     Am7    D7/5-   B   D9/5-   B    
            Until you find the love you've missed you're nothing,       Al           fie. 

Dm7                          F#º 
When you walk let your heart lead the way 
    Dm7                       C7/9-     Dm9     Dm7      C7/9-       Cmaj9     Cmaj7 
and you'll find love any day, Alfie,                    Alfie.
