[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] _ _ _ _ _

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
