Intro: Em, C

         Em                          CAll you great men of power, you who boast of your feats 
      Em                    CPoliticians and entrepreneurs
        Em                           CCan you safeguard your breath in the night while you sleep
          Em                        CKeep your heart beating steady and sure
        D                         Am6As you lie in your bed, does the thought haunt your head
            Em              A7That you’re really, rather small
            C                         B11                EmIf there’s one thing I know in this life: we are beggars all.

       (Em)                       CAll you champions of science and rulers of men,
        Em                        CCan you summon the sun from its sleep
         Em                         CDoes the earth seek your counsel on how fast to spin
         Em                          CCan you shut up the gates of the deep
          D                             Am6Don’t you know that all things hang, as if by a string,
         Em                   A7O’er the darkness,  poised to fall?
           C                          B11                EmIf there’s one thing I know in this life: we are beggars all.

        Em                          CAll you big shots that swagger and stride with conceit,
         Em                               CDid you devise how your frame would be formed
             Em                     CIf you’d be raised in a palace, or live out in the streets,
         Em                                   CDid you choose the place or the hour you’d be born
         D                         Am6Tell me what can you claim? Not a thing,  not your name
         Em         A7             C    Tell me if you can recall just one thing,
                           B11That’s not a gift in this life

        Am                 Can you hear what’s been said
       B11                        Em           A7Can you see now that everything’s grace after all
            C                       B11                       EmIf there’s one thing I know in this life: we are beggars all.
