Chords with lyrics

Intro: C majorC | E minorEm | A minorAm | G+G


C majorC      E minorEm
All men kill the thing they love
  A minorAm            G+G
 By all let this, by all let this be heard


   C majorC
  I never saw a man who looked with such a wistful eye
  E minorEm
  Upon that little tent of blue which prisoners call the sky
    A minorAm                   G+G
  And at every drifting cloud that went with sails of silver by
   C majorC                 E minorEm
  In Reading Gaol by Reading town there is a pit of shame
    A minorAm              G+G
  And in it lies a wretched man all eaten by teeth of flame

   C majorC    E minorEm     G+G    A minorAm
 The man had killed the thing he loved
   C majorC   E minorEm   G+G
 And so he had to die


C majorC      E minorEm
All men kill the thing they love
  A minorAm            G+G
 By all let this, by all let this be heard

    C majorC
  Some kill their love when they are young
  And some when they are old
    E minorEm
  Some strangle with the hands of Lust
  Some with the hands of Gold
    A minorAm
  The kindest use a knife, because
            G+G
  The dead so soon grow cold
    C majorC
  And there till Christ call forth the dead,
   E minorEm
  In silence let him lie
   A minorAm
  No need to waste the foolish tear
    G+G
  Nor heave the windy sigh

   C majorC    E minorEm     G+G    A minorAm
 The man had killed the thing he loved
   C majorC   E minorEm   G+G
 And so he had to die


C majorC
All men kill (All men ki-i-ill)
  E minorEm
the thing they love (The thing they lo-o-ove)
  A minorAm            G+G
 By all let this, by all let this be heard [x2]


C majorC E minorEm A minorAm G+G


  C majorC
  Some do it with a bitter look
        E minorEm
  Some with a flattering word
    A minorAm
  The coward does it with a kiss
      G+G
  And the brave man with a sword

    C majorC    E minorEm     G+G    A minorAm
  The man had killed the thing he loved
    C majorC   E minorEm   G+G
  And so he had to die


C majorC
All men kill (All men ki-i-ill)
  E minorEm
the thing they love (The thing they lo-o-ove)
  A minorAm            G+G
 By all let this, by all let this be heard

C majorC
Oh-o-oh (All men ki-i-ill)oh
  E minorEm
Oh-Oh-o(The thing they lo-o-ove)oh
  A minorAm    G+G
