This is a pretty easy song, I suck at fingerpicking and
I figured it out easily. Here it is:
Standard Tuning (EADGBE)the picking is the same through
the whole song.
Chords:
Am Am5 Fmaj7 F G G(?) Am5 Am6 E
Intro
Am Am5?
Fmaj7 F - if easier just barre the E & B

[Am5] [Am6]
[Am5] [E]
Intro: Am x8
All you [Am]great men of power
you who [Am5]boast of your feats
poli[Fmaj7]ticians and entrepre[F]neurs
can you [Am]safeguard your breath in the [Am5]night
while you sleep
keep your [Fmaj7]heart beating steady and [F]sure
as you [G]lie in your bed
G(000434)
does the thought haunt your head
that your [Am5]really rather s[Am6]mall
if there's [Am5]one thing I know in this l[E]ife
we are beggars [Am]all
Am x8
All you [Am]champions of science and [Am5]rulers of men
Can you [Fmaj7]summon the sun from it's s[F]leep?
Does the [Am]earth seek your council on [Am5]how fast to spin?
Can you [Fmaj7]shut up the gates of the d[F]eep?
G G(?)
Don't you know that all things hang as if by string
over [Am5]darkness, poised to [Am6]fall?
If there's [Am5]one thing I know in this l[E]ife, we are beggars a[Am]ll
Am x8
All you [Am]big shots who swagger and [Am5]stride with conceit
Did you de[Fmaj7]vise how your frame would be [F]formed?
If you'd be [Am]raised in a palace or left [Am5]out on the streets?
Or Choose the [Fmaj7]place or the hour you'd be [F]born?
G G(?)
Tell me what can you claim not a thing, not your name
Tell me [Am5]if you can re[Am6]call just one [Am5]thing, not a gift, in this l[E]ife
Can you [Am5]hear what's been said, can you [E]see
now that everything's [Am]grace
after [Am6]all
If there's [Am5]one thing I know in this l[E]ife, we are beggars a[Am]ll
