After All

Em                            A  
Please trip them gently, they 
           Am
don't like to fall
Em    F
Oh by jingo
Em                               
There's no room for anger, we're 
A        Am
all very small
Em     F
Oh by jingo
C                          
We're painting our faces and 
  G                             E
dressing in thoughts from the skies
         Am   Am7/G
From paradise
     D7                        
They think that we're holding a 
 Em
secretive ball
      F
Won't someone invite them
        G                     
They're just smaller children, 
 Am      Am7/G      Am/F#  Am/F
that's all, after all
Em                  A          Am
Man is an obstacle, sad as the clown
Em    F
Oh by jingo
Em                           A   
So hold on to nothing and he 
          Am
won't let you down

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

   C                      G       
I sing with impertinence, shading 
            E/G#
impermanent chords
        Am    Am7/G
With my words
     D7                        
I've borrowed your time and I'm 
         Em
sorry I called
        F                          
But the thought just occurred that 
      G
we're nobody's children
     Am Am7/G          Am/F#  Am/F
at all                 after all
Em                         A     
Live till your rebirth and do 
      Am
what you will
Em    F
Oh by jingo
Em                        A      
Forget all I said, please bear me
    Am
 no ill
Em    F
Oh by jingo

Em  A  Am  Em F

Em  A  Am
        After all
Em  A  Am
After all
