D           Em         Asus4             A
When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
D       Em    A               D
I all alone beweep my outcast state
D                Em     Asus4            A
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
D          Em   A                 D
And look upon myself and curse my fate,

D Em Asus4 A
Mmm...
D Em A D
Mmm...

D          Am7     Em7              A7
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
D             Am7       Em7                  A
Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,
D        Am7        Em7                A7
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
D           Am7    Em7           D
With what I most enjoy contented least;

D            Em         Asus4           A
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
D       Em       A                 D
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
D           Em      Asus4          A
Like to the lark at break of day arising
D           Em           A                 D
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;

D

    D   Em    D    Em         C D   A     D
For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings
D    D7     Em       A      A7  D    G     D
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
