Tuning: G C E A
ShallAm I compGare thee to a sAmummer's dGay?
TAmhou art more loGvely and more tAmemperate:
Rough winds do shGake the darling bAmuds of MGay,
And sAmummer's lease hath aGll too short a Amdate:
SometGime too hot the eye of hAmeaven shines,
And oGften is his gold complexion dAmimm'd;
And every fGair from fair someAmtime declGines,
By chAmance, or nature's chaGnging course, untrAmimm'd;
But tGhy eternal summer shall not fAmade
Nor lGose possession of that fair thou oAmw'st;
Nor shall deGath brag thou wander'st in his sAmhade,
When in etEmernal lines to time thou gEm7row'st;
So lAmong as men can brGeathe or Ameyes can seGe,
Am G | Am
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
G | Am G | Am G | Am |
