This is a pretty easy song, I suck at fingerpicking and
I figured it out easily. Here it is:
Standard Tuning (EADGBE)the picking is the same through
the whole song.
Chords:
Am Am5 Fmaj7 F G G(?) Am5 Am6 E
Intro
Am Am5?
Fmaj7 F - if easier just barre the E & B
Am Am5
Fmaj7 F
G G(?)
Am5 [Am6]
Am5 E
Intro: Am x8
All you Amgreat men of power
you who Am5boast of your feats
poliFmaj7ticians and entrepreFneurs
can you Amsafeguard your breath in the Am5night
while you sleep
keep your Fmaj7heart beating steady and Fsure
as you Glie in your bed
G(000434)
does the thought haunt your head
that your Am5really rather s[Am6]mall
if there's Am5one thing I know in this lEife
we are beggars Amall
Am x8
All you Amchampions of science and Am5rulers of men
Can you Fmaj7summon the sun from it's sFleep?
Does the Amearth seek your council on Am5how fast to spin?
Can you Fmaj7shut up the gates of the dFeep?
G G(?)
Don't you know that all things hang as if by string
over Am5darkness, poised to [Am6]fall?
If there's Am5one thing I know in this lEife, we are beggars aAmll
Am x8
All you Ambig shots who swagger and Am5stride with conceit
Did you deFmaj7vise how your frame would be Fformed?
If you'd be Amraised in a palace or left Am5out on the streets?
Or Choose the Fmaj7place or the hour you'd be Fborn?
G G(?)
Tell me what can you claim not a thing, not your name
Tell me Am5if you can re[Am6]call just one Am5thing, not a gift, in this lEife
Can you Am5hear what's been said, can you Esee
now that everything's Amgrace
after [Am6]all
If there's Am5one thing I know in this lEife, we are beggars aAmll
