After All

Em               Em7           A
Please trip them gently, they 
             Am   Em      F
don't like to fall (Oh by jingo)
Em                   Em7          
There's no room for anger, we're 
A       Am     Em     F
all very small (Oh by jingo)

       C                    
We're painting our faces and 
  G                              E
dressing in thoughts from the skies,
E7        Am   Am7/G
From paradise
         D7/F#                     
But they think that we're holding a
   Em
 secretive ball.
       F                           
Won't someone invite them, they're 
 G
just taller children
       Am  Am7/G
That's all
      D7/F#  Fmaj7
After all

Em         Em7       A         
Man is an obstacle, sad as the 
Am     Em      F
clown (Oh by jingo)
    Em        Em7              A 
So hold on to nothing, and he 
            Am   Em      F
won't let you down (Oh by jingo)

Some people are marching together 
                   E
and some on their own
E7       Am   Am7/G
Quite alone
D7/F#                     Em
Others are running, the smaller ones
 crawl
       F                        
But some sit in silence, they're 
  G
just older children
       Am  Am7/G
That's all

After all

   C                       G      
I sing with impertinence, shading 
             E     E7
impermanent chords,
        Am   Am7/G
With my words
      D7/F#                    
I've borrowed your time and I'm 
  Em
sorry I called
          F                        
But the thought just occurred that 
       G                   Am   
we're nobody's children at all
Am7/G

After all

Em               Em7       A    
Live till your rebirth and do 
       Am    Em    F
what you will (Oh by jingo)
Em               Em7          A 
Forget all I've said, please 
        Am   Em     F
bear me no ill (Oh by jingo)
