Sonnet 18

D
            G     A        
Shall I compare thee    to a 
   G        D
summer's day?
               Em  G         A   
Thou art more lovely    and more 
      D
temperate:
                 G                 
Rough winds do shake    the darling
          D
 buds of may,
              Em             G    
And summer's lease      hath all 
            D
too short a date:

              A                    
Sometime too hot        the eye of 
        Bm
heaven shines,
Continues after the ad
          E                     
And often is            his gold 
             A
complexion dimm'd;

           G      A               
And every fair          from fair 
     G       D
sometime declines,
              Em    G     A      
By chance or nature's   changing 
           D
course untrimm'd;

       A                         
But thy eternal summer  shall not 
  Bm
fade
             E                     
Nor lose possession     of that 
        A
fair thou owest;

                  G         
Nor shall death brag    thou 
                    D
wander'st in his shade,
        Em       G                
When in eternal lines   to time 
     D
thou growest:

    A                              
So long as men can breathe or eyes 
     Bm
can see,
                G        A        
So long lives this and this gives 
          D
life to thee
