Alfie (Bacharach- David) From the 1966 Michael Caine Film This is as I hear the song as recorded in 1966 by Cilla Black and Burt Bacharach There is not much difference in the arrangement between the Cilla and the Dionne Version apart from their individual styles and abilities. Cilla, despite being challenged by the song, does a better version in my opinion as her vulnerability suits the film better, Dionne is too polished and comfortable. Verse 1 Bbmaj9 (x10211@1) Cm7/FWhat (131310@1)is it all about, Alfie? Bbmaj9 (x10211@1) Gm7 Dm7 G7Is (320001@1)it just for the moment we live?
