[Bb] [Dm] [Am]
[F]
[Bb] [Gm]
[A] [Dm] No man's a jester [G] playing Shakespeare
[F] Round your [Dm] throne room [G] floor
[Gm] While the juggler's act is danced upon
[A] The crown that you [Dm] once wore
[C] [Dm] And sooner [G] or later
[F]
Everybody's kingdom [G] must end
[Gm]
And I'm so afraid your courtiers
[A] Cannot bear call [Dm] best friends
[G] The Caesar's had your troubles
[Dm] The widow's had to cry
While [G] mercenaries and poets [E] sing
And the king must [A] [A] die
[Dm] [D] [F] [A]
[Bb] [A]
[Dm] Some men are better [G] slim sailors
[F] Take my [G] word and go
[Gm] But tell the Ostler that his [A] name was
The Vance [Dm] that you'll [G] [Dm]
sustain [G] forever
And [F]
the Oster should [G] refuse me
Would
[Gm] you let me in, would you let me in, would you let [A] me in
Should I cry, [Dm] century
[G] Caesar's had your troubles
The [Dm] widow's had to cry
[G] While mercenaries and poets sing
[E]
And the king [A] must [Dm] die
[Bb] No [Am]
[A] [Dm] [F] [D]
[Gm] [G] [A]
[D] man's a jester [G] playing Shakespeare
[F] Round your throne [G] room floor

The crown that you once [Dm] wore
The [G] king [Dm] is
[G]
