Alfie    (intro)    (midi)    (sample)

 

         G                      Am

1. What's it all about, Alfie?

           G               Em              Bm - E

    Is it just for the moment we li…….ve?

                  Am                                    Bm            - Em

    What's it all about when you sort it out, Alfie?

     Am                 C                   F#

    Are we meant to take more than we give,

        Am                  D                  D7

    or are we meant to be kind? And if….

 

     G                            Am

2. Only fools are kind, Alfie,

               G             Em            Bm    - E

    then I guess it is wise to be cruel.

              Am                                  Bm              - Em
    And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie,

             Am                C             F#

    what will you lend on an old golden rule?

 

           D             Gm       A                          D        Bm    - A - A7

    As sure as I believe there's a heaven above, Alfie,

         D                                            Gm          

    I know there's something much more,

     A                         C                  Bm      D     D7

    something even non-believers can believe in.

 

    G                        Am

3. I believe in love, Alfie,

Em                   C                  Bm  Em

    without true love we just exist, Alfie,

Am              C                             Bm                  Em        A7      - - -

    until you find the love you've missed you're nothing, Alfie.

        Am                 C                   F#

    When you walk let your heart lead the way,

           Am                    C          Bb   - C - Am  Bb     - D - G

    and you'll find love any day, Alfie,              Alfie.
