        G  Em  Am7  D

   G                               B7
That's life (that's life), that's what all the people say
Em7                           A7
  You're ridin' high in April,  shot down in May
  G/D                B7           Em   Em7
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
     A7                               D7   D5+
When I'm back on top, back on top in June

               G                         B7
I said that's life (that's life), and as funny as it may seem
Em7                           A7
  Some people get their kicks   stompin' on a dream
G/D                B7                Em   Em7
But I don't let it,   let it get me down
            A7             C/D                     G    C/G  G
'Cause this fine old world,   it keeps spinnin' around

            G7
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
          C               (C6)
I've been up and down and over and out, and I know one thing
      A7
Each time I find myself flat on my face
   D7                    D5+
I pick myself up and get back in the race

       G                              B7
That's life (that's life), i tell you   i can't deny it
Em7                          A7
 I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart just ain't gonna buy it
   G/D                       B7               Em   Em7
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
     A7                      C/D              G    C/G  G
I'd jump right on a big bird,   and then I'd fly

            G7
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king
          C               (C6)
I've been up and down and over and out, and I know one thing
      A7
Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face
        D7                    Eb7
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

        Ab                             C7
That's life (that's life), that's life   and i can't deny it
Fm                                Bb7
  Many times I thought of cuttin' out, but my heart won't buy it
    Ab/Eb              C7                     Fm   Bb7
But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July
          Bb7                 Db/Eb         Ab   B7   E7   Db/Eb
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die

A7(5-)   Ab7
My,    my!
