Intro: Em, C
All you gEmreat men of power, you who bCoast of your feats
PolitiEmcians and entrepreneurCs
Can you Emsafeguard your breath in the Cnight while you sleep
Keep your Emheart beating steady and sCure
As you lDie in your bed, does the tAm6hought haunt your head
That you’rEme really, ratherA7 small
If there’sC one thing I know in this B11life: we are beggarEms all.
(Em) C
All you champions of science and rulers of men,
Can you Emsummon the sun from its slCeep
Does the Emearth seek your counsel on Chow fast to spin
Can you sEmhut up the gates of the deepC
Don’t yoDu know that all things hang, aAm6s if by a string,
O’er thEme darkness, poised tA7o fall?
If there’Cs one thing I know in this B11life: we are beggarEms all.
All you Embig shots that swagger and sCtride with conceit,
Did you dEmevise how your frame would be forCmed
If you’d beEm raised in a palace, orC live out in the streets,
Did you cEmhoose the place or the hour you’d bCe born
Tell me wDhat can you claim? Not a tAm6hing, not your name
Tell me iEmf you can rA7ecall just one Cthing,
That’s not a gift in thisB11 life
Can you Amhear what’s been said
Can youB11 see now that everything’Ems grace afterA7 all
If there’sC one thing I know in thiB11s life: we are beggars allEm.
