[Bb] at which cost £25.
[Eb]
One of the best lyrics [Ab] that anybody's ever [Bb] written.
Hal David.
What's it all about,
[Eb] Alfie?
[Bb] Is it just for the moment [Dm] we live?
What's [Cm] it [Bb] all about, [Cm]
when [Dm] you sort it out, Alfie?
[Gm] To [Cm]
[Fm] take more [C]
than [A] we give
[Bb] To
[Eb] [Fm]
[Cm] be kind
[Eb]
And
[F] only fools are [Bb]
kind
[Dm] [Eb] Alfie
Then [Bb] I guess [Gm] it is wise
[Dm] to be cruel
[G]
[Cm] And if life belongs only [Dm] to the strong, Alfie
[Gm]
[Eb] What will you lend [Fm] on [Cm] an old [C] [A] golden rule?
[Bb] [Am]
[Db] To [D]
[Dm] heaven [Am] above, Alfie
[Dm]
[C] [Dm]
[Am] I know there's something [F] [Fm] much more
[C] [D] Something [Eb] even non [F] [Eb] [F]
-believers can [Eb]
[F] believe
[Cm]
[F] And I believe in love, [Bb] [F] [Eb]
Alfie
Without [Em]
[Cm] true love we [Dm] just exist, [Gm]
[G] Alfie
Until you [Cm] find [G] the love [Dm] you missed
[Gm] You're nothing
[C]
[Ab]
When [Cm] you want,
[Eb] [Fm] let [Eb] your heart [C] lead [A] the way
[Bb]
[Eb] [Fm] And in love,
[Eb] [F]
[Bb]
Alfie
[Cm]
[Gm] [Bb]
Alfie
[G]
[Ab]
Sleepy
[C] yet?
Me neither.
More from Bert Becker at late.
[Fm] Turn this house [Ebm] into a home
[Ab] [Fm] When I climb the stairs
Turn the key
Oh, [Bbm] please be there
[Cm] Still [Db] in love
[Ab] [Eb]
[Fm]
[Db] [Ab]
[Db]
[Bbm] A [Ab] chair is still a [Db] chair
Even when there's no [Ab] one sitting [Cm] there
But [Gb]
[Ab] a chair is [Am] not a [C] house
[Fm] A house is not a [Ebm] home
[Ab]
When [Db] there's no one there
[Bb] To [Fm] hold you tight
And no one there [Db] [Eb] you [Db] can kiss
[Ab]
A room is still a [Db]
room
[Ab] Even when there's nothing there but gloom
[Gb] [Ab] But a [Db] room is not [Am] a house
[Bb] [C] [Fm] A house is [Ebm] not a home
[Ab] When the two of us are far [Bbm] apart
[Fm] And one of us [Eb] has [Db] hurt
[Ab]
[Eb]
Now and then [Fm] I [Ab] call your name
Suddenly your face [Dm] [F] appears
[Dm]
But it's just a
[Eb] crazy game
[D] When it ends, [Bbm]
hidden [C] in tears
[Am]
Still
[Ab] have a heart
Let one mistake keep us apart
You [Gb]
[Ab] see I'm not [Db] meant to [Am] live alone
[C] Turn [Fm] this house [Ebm] to a room
[Ab] When [Db] I [Bbm] climb the stairs
[Fm] And turn the key
Please be there
[Db] Still [Cm] in [Bbm] [F]
[Eb] [Ab] love
[Fm]
[Ab]
