         Am                        
All you great men of power, you who
  F
 boast of your feats -
      Am                    F
Politicians and entrepreneurs.
        Am                         
Can you safeguard your breath in 
  F
the night while you sleep?
          Am                       
Keep your heart beating steady and 
 F
sure?
        G                       
As you lie in your bed, does the 
  E7
thought haunt your head
            Am              D7
That you're really, rather small?
            F                      
If there's one thing I know in this
   Em
 life: we are beggars all.

        Am                      
All you champions of science and 
 F
rulers of men,

        Am                     
Can you summon the sun from its 
   F
sleep?
         Am                        
Does the earth seek your counsel on
 F
 how fast to spin?
         Am                     
Can you shut up the gates of the 
     F
deep?
          G                        
Don't you know that all things 
     E7
hang, as if by a string,
         Am                   D7
O'er the darkness - poised to fall?
           F                       
If there's one thing I know in this
  Em
 life: we are beggars all.

        Am                         
All you big shots that swagger and 
 F
stride with conceit,
         Am                        
Did you devise how your frame would
       F
 be formed?
             Am                    
If you'd be raised in a palace, or 
 F
live out in the streets,
         Am                        
Did you choose the place or the 
           F
hour you'd be born?
         G                       
Tell me what can you claim? Not a 
  E7
thing - not your name!
         Am         D7             
Tell me if you can recall just one 
F
thing,
                           Em
That's not a gift in this life?

Am                         F
Can you hear what's been said?
        Am           Em           
Can you see now that everything's 
Am           D7
grace after all?
            F                      
If there's one thing I know in this
 Em
 life: we are beggars all.
