        Em (022000@1)                         CCan (x32010@1)you safeguard your breath in the night while you sleep

            C (x32010@1)                       B11 (x22222@1)              EmIf (022000@1)there's one thing I know in this life: we are beggars all.

Em (022000@1)                        CAll (x32010@1)you big shots that swagger and stride with conceit,
         Em (022000@1)                             CDid (x32010@1)you devise how your frame would be formed
             Em (022000@1)                   CIf (x32010@1)you'd be raised in a palace, or live out in the streets,
         Em (022000@1)                                 CDid (x32010@1)you choose the place or the hour you'd be born
         D (xx0232@1)                       Am6Tell (x02212@1)me what can you claim? Not a thing,  not your name
