Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May
And summer's lease hath [Bm] all too short a day
[A] Sometime too hot the [Bm] eye of heaven shines
And [A] often is his gold [Bm] complexion dimmed
And every [A] fair thing fares [Bm] sometime, [A] dear Clives
[G] By chance or [A] nature's changing course [Bm] untrimmed
[A] But thy eternal summer shall [Bm] not fade
[A] Nor lose possession of that fair [Bm] thou o'erst
[A] Nor shall death rag thou wondrous in his [B] shade
When in [F#] eternal lines to time thou grow'st
[Bm] As long as men [A] can read [Bm] or eyes [A] can see
So [B] long lives [A] this and this gives life [Bm] to thee
