[Verso 1]
 
Eb      Cm Gm/B   Abmaj7 
All the world's a stage 
  Fm7       Eb                 Adim7 
A friend of mine, he sometimes said 
              Fm7               Gm 
But though he tried to show the way 
          G7             Cadd9  C 
They only care about his name 
 


[Verso 2]
 
Eb      Cm Gm/B   Abmaj7 
Love is for   the  fool 
  Fm7       Eb             Adim7 
A blind old man, he always said 
           Fm7               Gm 
But of its joys he sometimes spoke 
            G7               Cadd9  C 
And then it seemed, he could see 
 


[Verso 3]
 
Eb      Cm Gm/B   Abmaj7 
Life is for the   strong, 
  Fm7        Eb               Cm 
A travelling monk, he told me once 
           Fm7             Gm    Cm 
But of the weak, he never spoke 
Cm           G7                Cadd9  C 
Though their cries beat on his ears 
 


[Verso 4]
 
  Eb        Cm Gm/B   Abmaj7 
I stood, my gun in    hand 
     Fm7     Eb              Adim7 
The swallow flew to meet his love 
            Fm7                 Gm 
And as they touched, I shot him down 
             G7            Cadd9  C 
But now it's me that can't fly
