Be Not Too Hard chords by Donovan

Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro: C  Am  Em Em Dm  G

Verse: 1
C          Am
Be not too hard for life is short
Dm           G
And nothing is given to man
C              Am
Be not too hard when he is sold or bought
Dm               G
For he must manage as best he can
C             Am
Be not too hard when he blindly dies
F                G
Fighting for things he does not own
C           Am
Be not too hard when he tells lies
Dm                  G
Or if his heart is sometimes like a stone
       Am         Em
Be not too hard for soon he'll die
F            G
Often no wiser than he began
C          Am
Be not too hard for life is short
   Dm     G    C
And nothing is given to man
