Key: A
Introduction:
A7M Bm7(b5) A7M D7M D9
What's it all about, Alfie
Bm7(b5) A7M Cº F#m C#m7(b5) F#7
Is it just for the moment we live
Bm7 Cº A7M F#m7
What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie
D9 Bm7(b5) Cº Fº
Are we meant to take more than we give
Bm7(b5) D9 Bm7 E7(9)
Or are we meant to be kind
Cº E7(9) A7M Bm7(b5) A7M D7M D9
And if only fools are kind, Alfie
Bm7(b5) A7M Cº F#m C#m7(b5) F#7
Then I guess that it's wise to be cruel
Bm7 Cº A7M F#m7
And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie
D9 Bm7 Cº Bm7(b5) G#7
What will you lend on an old Golden Rule
G#m7 Gº Am7 F#m7 B7 C#7
As sure as I believe there's a Heaven above, Alfie
G#m7 Gº Am7
I know there's something much more
F#m7 D9 Cº Bm7(b5) E7(9) Fº
Something even non-believers can believe in
A7M Bm7(b5) A7M D7M D
I believe in love, Alfie
D9 Bm7(b5) Fº A7M C#m7(b5) F#m
Without true love, we just exist, Alfie
D9 Bm7(b5) Fº A7M G#7 F#m7 Fº B7
Until you find the love you missed, you're nothing, Alfie
D9 Bm7(b5) Cº E7(9)
When you walk, let your heart lead the way
D9 Bm7(b5) E7(9) E7 Cº A7M
And you'll find love any day, Alfie Alfie
